Supreme Court

[petermarcus]

So, yeah, the Supreme Court ruled that goverments can seize private property and give it to another private group if it means more taxes or some other benefit to the city. I hate it, a lot of people hate it, and we can gripe, gripe, gripe.

Or, we can do what Logan Darrow Clements is doing. He's petitioning the small town of Weare, New Hampshire, to grab a private residence and turn it into a hotel. The residence happens to be owned by David Souter, one of the Supreme Court justices that voted for this decision. Clements says he can bring more taxes and jobs to Weare by kicking Souter out of his house and building the Lost Liberty Hotel.

I'm quite amused.

That would be pretty awesome. Too bad it is so unlikely.

As I said in another journal, after reading the article that they linked:

That definitely is sweet.

What I find interesting about the case is the abrupt about face of a supposedly conservative court to vote for a decidedly liberal action. Maybe, for once, they will have the guts to change their minds and vote the other direction on this issue --- soon.
