Last week, I reported on the Supreme Court's Kelo vs City of New London decision, which seriously weakened Constitutionally guaranteed private property rights.
Now, in what can only be viewed as an attempt at pure poetic justice, a budding developer, businessman Logan Darrow Clements, has begun the process of seizing Supreme Court Justice David Souter's homestead in Weare, New Hampshire and replacing it with a hotel.
Citing the Kelo decision, Clements has contacted Weare's building official, saying:
"Although this property is owned by an individual, David H. Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, "Kelo vs. City of New London" clears the way for this land to be taken by the Government of Weare through eminent domain and given to my LLC for the purposes of building a hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare."
Think the Fab Five ever considered that the Kelo ruling might directly threaten their property rights?
As I've said before, when our Constitution is ignored, all Americans suffer the consequences.
Clements is currently seeking investors to fund the project. He can be reached by clicking here. Encourage him to develop similar plans for properties owned by Supreme Court Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy and Stevens.

Maximize the Economy, Minimize the Government
It's no secret why California is in trouble big government is destroying the economy with high taxes, abusive regulations, outrageous workmen's compensation premiums and interference in the power industry. The marketplace is like a garden. When free it produces a bountiful harvest for all, but when the weed of government enters it steals resources, strangles production and ruins the harvest. I'm the only candidate who wants to pull out the weed by the root, not just trim its leaves.
I will help California roar to life by cutting government spending 50% and lowering taxes and regulations across the board. I will make government as small as possible so that our economy can be as large as possible. Failing, tax-supported government programs will be replaced by more effective, lower-cost, voluntary solutions provided by resourceful business people competing to win your business. See the work of freedom in grocery stores filled with food, hospitals filled with lifesaving technology, and a computer industry filled with innovation. See the work of big government in power blackouts, failing schools and traffic jams. The more important the task, the more reason it should be handled by resourceful companies motivated by profit, not bumbling politicians motivated by power.
Education spending accounts for around half of government spending. Therefore, to cut government spending by at least 50% I will replace high cost/low quality public schools with low cost/high quality private schools. More spending will not yield better schools. California teachers are among the highest paid in the nation, yet a 2002 study by the U.S. Department of Education showed that California's students ranked at the bottom of a reading test among 43 states that participated in the study. Public schools have been a failure for decades while private schools and universities have consistently performed better. I want to give all parents the opportunity to send their child to private school of their choice. The will end up with a better education for less than they currently pay in school taxes.
Would you rather have private schools run by smart and resourceful businesspeople competing for your business or public schools that take your tax money and offer crime-ridden, drug filled, failing schools. You don't have to dream about sending your child to a private school anymore. If elected I will make it possible by undertaking the largest transformation of government since Poland switched from socialism to freedom. I will upgrade all schools and colleges from public to private by transitioning them from government management to private management.
This is no time for small fixes. We need major change. You can vote for a 'big' candidate and get small change or for a 'small' candidate and get big change. Vote for big change, vote Clements for Governor.
Read America's second most influential book, Atlas Shrugged. Written almost 50 years ago by Ayn Rand, a Russian immigrant to California, this book predicts our current crisis and offers a powerful solution. It fits California's situation so well that the statements of current politicians could easily be interchanged with the statements of politicians in the book. Soon you will know the answer to Atlas Shrugged's mysterious question "Who is John Galt?"

Ain't this great? Surely we can build a hotel that will make 3k/yr!
Bumped for future reference!
I think she's the original Goth.
I have to agree with this man. (Logan Darrow Clements)
I have a message for Washington...
I am worth FAR more to this nation as a freeman than as a slave.
Perhaps you don't grasp the problem? These people don't care what you or anybody is worth. They are the ultimate Druids. They wish to turn the entire world into a pagan shrine. To do that, the first thing that they have to do is remove people from their property. This ruling is step one.
bttt!
Really screw him over by only offering 1/2 what it is worth, just like the government does to everyone else.
Don't stop there...get all their houses who voted for this POS.

Souter doesn't have to worry if he's evicted. He can move to New London, CT.
What is the lowest buy in price? I want to invest.

I'm willing to pay the cost of the porta potty on his front lawn while constrution of this new hotel/economic devolpment takes place.
Monday, Clements faxed a request to Chip Meany, the code enforcement officer of Weare, seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road, the present location of Souter's home.
"Am I taking this seriously? But of course," Meany told the Associated Press. "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."
Clements' idea to seize Justice Souter's property and build "The Lost Liberty Hotel" came after the 5-4 ruling last Thursday.

Bulldoze the Weasels den and justify doing it with his own rulings. I pray this happens and let these black robed tyrants live by their own rulings.
It seems like a lot of public pics show the Bat(ginsburg) and the Weasel (souter) often together. They always seem to vote on rulings the same way.
Our founding fathers knew the way it started in 1776...
