Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter's land.
Justice Souter's vote in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.
Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.
The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."
Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.
"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.
Well, maybe we should limit it to the five who voted against property rights. I think O'Connor has a ranch in AZ -- you know THAT land could be put to better use. I think AZ is crying out for one more full-service resort and conference center. Or maybe a new stadium. Must be something they need more than a private home that's hardly producing any revenue for the state.
Illegal immigrant detention center....
And a KOA campground for families that can't afford hotels. There you go, an egalitarian hook.
Can we invest in this REIT?

It's okay, there's a spelling gremlin imbedded in the thread, so it's not your fault.
Buying only occurs when two people agree on a price.
That's the exact number I mentioned to my husband about half an hour ago. At $100 a pop, that money would be raised in no time.

Not sure I agree or disagree. But it is certainly not stealing.
Leave it to libertarians to do something useful that the Republicans don't have the balls to do.
Haven't even heard "Mr. Limited Government" Bush Jr. speak out against the robed tyrants. Interesting.
Whitewater?
In a soon to be Hooter's hopefully.
