Let's make them play by their own rules!

Although this appears to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I think it is exactly what should be done.

In fact, it is an ideal demonstration since it literally would take only three good citizens to wake up Justice Souter and the other four on the court as to what a precarious position that they have put the rest of their fellow citizens in.

why not eminent domain martha's vinyard?

Plus, if the town rejects it, he can appeal citing Souter's decision. At least make Souter take notice. Anybody know where Ginsburg lives?

:) Would that it succeeded.

Souter will appeal privately to his contacts to find a way to argue that he is exempt fromt he rule. Perhaps the rule will be modified so as not to apply to those working in the judicial branch (how's that for elitism?).

But since Souter is the person who made up symbolic speech as a protected form of speech, such that its expression overrules other laws, it is ironic that the concept of symbolic speech may be used against him. Which will also be modified in some decision so as not to apply.

Justice Thomas had to shame him into opposing cross burning, as thanks to Souter, it was supposedly protected speech.

I'm in for $100.

Actually, since Barbra Streisand and her buddies are so concerned about the public ruining their views, I think seizure of all the homes along Malibu Beach with construction of an amusement park would be a reasonable place to start.

Where else did you expect Souter to live? By the way, our local spies tell us that Souter pronounces his home address as Siwwy Hiww, FWIW.

Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Excellent! The 'Just Deserts Cafe' is a nice touch too!

[SIDENET]

Anybody know where Ginsburg lives?

Under a bridge?

[6SJ7]

Deserts = Desserts (don't want to attract the Spelling Police).

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I'd like to see a "Payback Bread And Breakfast" added as well.

[razorback-bert]

Ditto!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

That should be "Bed and Breakfast." Get thee behind me, spelling demons!

[saveliberty]

:) No worries, we understood.

[SlowBoat407]

Instead of "up" and "down" the signs on the elevators should say "assent" and "dissent".

[ZULU]

I thought Souter lived in a cave with his mother before that idiot Bush I pulled him out of obscurity.

[SlowBoat407]

And yes, I meant to spell them that way.
