Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter May Lose His Home to Eminent Domain

We are not truly free if government can just come in and take our land and give it to somebody else for the sake of making that person and the city in which it is in more money. We have all lost freedom and liberty with the Supreme Court ruling in the "Kelo vs. City of New London" case. Justice Souter was one who voted to take freedom and liberty from us. According to him, it is constitutional that a city government has the right to take your property and give it or sell it to somebody who will generate more tax dollars and revenue for the city, whether it be your family home, your family farm, or some other family business. If they want it for that reason, you no longer have a right to the land you own.
I am sure he never considered the fact that he too would be losing liberty and freedom like the little people he ruled against. He probably never considered it could happened to him, but it just might.
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.
I for one hope it does, and I can't wait to hear what he thinks about it when they build a hotel on his property.
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany thecode 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. 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."
Logan Darrow Clements is my hero.
