Developer Wants To Seize Supreme Court Justice's Home


Home Would Be Replaced With 'Lost Liberty' Hotel


POSTED: 9:52 am CDT June 29, 2005

WEARE, N.H. -- Following a Supreme Court ruling giving local governments power to seize private property, a California man has suggested taking over Justice David Souter's New Hampshire farmhouse and turning it into a hotel.



Souter, a longtime Weare resident, joined in the 5-4 court decision allowing governments to seize private property from one owner and turn it over to another if doing so would benefit a community.


In a letter faxed to town officials Tuesday, Logan Darrow Clements said that a hotel on Souter's property would bring the town economic development and tax revenue.

Souter could not be reached for comment.

Charles Meany, Weare's code enforcement officer, said he is taking the matter seriously. So are police, who posted officers outside Souter's home as a precaution Tuesday.

In the poll that accompanied this article, out of over 25,000 people who voted, 99% SAID THAT PRIVATE DEVELOPERS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE SOMEONE'S PROPERTY!!!. How's that for a majority.

Supreme Court, are you listening? Do you have a clue?

So the elite can get protection but not us citizens who are supposed to be in control?

We need to contact NBC and tell them we want a follow-up story on this. This way, the ruling is going to get more attention than ever

The guy who is behind this was on Hannity and Colmes last night. He has been inundated with calls, emails and offers of help. He has already been in touch with hotel developers interested in the project.

I have a feeling we have not heard the last of this. A lot of people are very angry...and here's one!!!
