Perhaps He Should Reconsider
Supreme Court Justice David Souter: waiting to see if the eminent domain decision will come back to bite him...hard.
In an effort at revenge, Logan Darrow Clements of Weare, New Hampshire, is starting the paperwork process to build a hotel on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter. The site, 34 Cilley Hill Road in Weare is the present location of Souter's home.
Clements is CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, the group publicizing the effort.
Most noteworthy from Freestar Media's press release: "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.
As you may recall, Rand's book is so bad it made Officer Barbrady regret learning how to read.
I don't think Clements will find much success. Congress is already working to pass legislation stripping federal money from any local government projects that take advantage of the Kelo vs. City of New London decision.
