Souter gets police protection

Do you think any of us would get this attention?

[Darkwolf377]

Maybe Justice Souter is starting to feel how put-upon people whose property is taken over feel.

GOOD!!!

We have our own Mullahs....they need to feel the HEAT!

"Am I taking this seriously? But of course," said Charles Meany, Weare's code enforcement officer. "In lieu of the recent Supreme Court decision, I would imagine that some people are pretty much upset. If it is their right to pursue this type of end, then by all means let the process begin."

Wow.

[Joe Brower]

"Do you think any of us would get this attention?"

In two words: HELL, NO! For us little people, the cops would be the ones performing the eviction.

"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others", don't you know...

The politicians and judges should fear the populace.

LOL, did he just say that if under eminent domain the citizenry have the right to such redress, then full steam ahead?
That's what it sounds like to me!

[RexBeach]

Not hardly. He doesn't care. He knows it all, you see.

[teenyelliott]

At least eight states — Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, South Carolina and Washington — forbid the use of eminent domain for economic development unless it is to eliminate blight.

Perhaps we are not thinking in the correct direction on this move.

And we just had to pay our car taxes. Puke.

The beachfront property, anyone?

[passionfruit]

What a wuss Souter is!

[Right_at_RiceU]

The the number of people pissed off at him and the other libs members of the supremes, I think he'll need more than the police to protect him.

[YOUGOTIT]

Are they providing police protection for those that are being evicted by the police???????

[chuknospam]

He gets multiple officers for protection when no one has made a threat against him. Yet a woman who has a restraining order against her murdious husband gets no protection, is killed, and Souter says that's ok, cops have no duty to protect her.

Sounds as if Mr. Meany is thinking "let's go for it".

[Brilliant]

Sounds like he's easily rattled by public attention. Should probably consider a different line of work.

As much as we want to dump on Souter politically and legally, and I do, there is a need to be very careful with the security of Supreme Court Justices. It is a bit worrisome if he didn't have protection before. I assume they are concerned because his address has been made public, along with anger about the decision. There are a lot of nuts out there.

When I worked for a court in a very minor capacity, someone showed up taking pictures of my house. I called the police and they were unimpressed. But when they found out I worked for a court that was hearing a major labor racketeering trial they said that was a different story and immediately tracked the guy down. Turned out to be a local realtor getting comparables.

A few police cruisers were parked on the edge of Souter's property Tuesday.

"It was a precaution, just being protective," said Lt. Mark Bodanza.

I'm sure the good officers would be just as protective if I were trying to keep my property, right?

Man, I feel like a fricking serf, just keeping up the King's property till he wants it back.

[Haru Hara Haruko]

Yes, that is soooooo excellent. Even if this effort fails, I hope they keep coming. Souter deserves to live out of his suitcase for the rest of his days.

[cake_crumb]

Waitaminnit...HE wanted this eminent domain thing, and when a developer comes along who wants to drive a bulldozer through HIS bedroom, he acts as though he's MORE IMPORTANT then those who's homes he guaranteed bulldozers would be driven through.

That's the elite for you: equal rights for nobody, special privilege for some.

[chuknospam]

Be willing to bet his home is way undervalued because he is a special resident and deserves a discount on his taxes.
