"Eminent domain" back atcha

A revolting development.

After US Supreme Court Justice David Souter votes to turn private home into an office complex, a private developer attempts to seize Souter's home to build a hotel.


From CBC Radio's As it Happens web site - caught part of the story while driving this evening.

More:

On Monday, Freestar Media reported that the Towne of Weare, NH intends to file plans to erect a hotel on the property currently holding Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s home. It is reported that on Monday, Logan Darrow Clements faxed a request to the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, NH “seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road”, Souter’s current residence.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC said: “This is not a prank. 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 to erect his new "Lost Liberty Hotel".
