Logan Darrow Clements, I will give you a mouth kiss next time I see you. This is poetry in motion. This guy deserves our deepest gratitude.

I just love it, too. It will make a statement, but won't be taken seriously beyond that. It won't go anywhere, because Sooter is a 'person of eminence' and not subject to the policies that govern the hoi-paloi.

This is new hampshire. The city council could be republican. Do we know? This would be awesome and would go down in the history books. It sure beats armed conflict.

[myself6]

I sympathize with your point, BUT.

Its done. The only way to undo it is for the USSC to take another case and reverse the earlier decision. In the time between now and them we can have some fun and make a point of beating these people over the heads with their own club.

Plus, Ill have an excuse to take a vacation every year. Hopefully we can get a few more of the homes owned by liberals around the country so I can vary the geographical locations of my vacations.

I think Kerry has a few homes around the country that would make wonderful vacation spots. This could become a whole chain of resorts! I'm giddy just thinking about it.

[fooman]

I am all for that

So, you already have an experienced Madame in residence there?

A private developer has contacted the local government in Supreme Court Justice David Souter's hometown in New Hampshire asking that the property of the judge – who voted in favor of a controversial decision allowing a city to take residents' homes for private development – be seized to make room for a new hotel.

BRAVO!

There is nothing inconsistant with taking the property of a man who took yours. You may as well say I don't have the right to shoot someone who shot me...after all, I cannot deny a man his rights just because he denies me mine?

Of course I can. This taking of Souters home is perfectly justified.

nice quote, if a bit over-dramatic. You know what would be extreme??? Try the following:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time
to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -- Thomas Jefferson

getting joy out of seeing the emperor w/out clothes chastised for his nakedness does not, imho, qualify as extremism. It does bluntly state - if we conservatives were to generally react as such - that the trampling of the 5th is ok as long as we don't like the person.

Let's keep our focus, randog... you know how good the left is at pointing their fingers at us and saying "...if you can do it, then there's nothing wrong with us doing it, too".

[theodorelogan]

No, it simply states it is ok to trample someones rights once he forfeits them by trampling yours.

[Zivasmate]

I've always wanted to vacation in Weare.
BTW, where does R. B. Ginsburg live?
Yes, and where does Anthony Kennedy live?

[2dogjoe]

Yes, take his land now! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[Tribune7]

Something else to remember. This WILL help the town. It will bring tourists and give them an world-famous landmark. Further it appears to have an educational aspect to it.

It certainly falls within the logic of the Kelso decision.

[Wright Wing]

How do I become an investor?

[brownsfan]

"Its done. The only way to undo it is for the USSC to take another case and reverse the earlier decision. "

So, someone bribes the local government, (only 3 need be bribed, where do I donate?) And procedings begin to take Souter's home. Souter appeals the ruling. The case makes it's way to... the Supreme Court.

That would be bliss. :)

They would have to rezone the property to allow a hotel use. They will hide behind zoning rules and a few neighborhood protesters (who they would usually ignore) to avoid doing this.

But the effort will highlight the fact that these councilmen have been given every right to rezone Souters property, comdemn and bulldoze it, and build a hotel just because they can get a few more tax dollars.

[sandbar]

I want to invest in this venture and also stay at this hotel when it is completed.
