My town, Placentia, California just took a strip mall by eminent domain, to turn over to a prosperous appliance store owner so he could expand. To make it worse, the city sold the property for $100,000 less than they paid for it. They claimed that they would get that $100,000 back over a 10 year period "in the form of increased tax revenues".
Perhaps the Towne of Weare could do the same with the Souter house.

Might I suggest we try to acquire Justice Roy Moore's Commandment Monument for the rotunda?

Yes, it is. Even if they give three times the property value, if you are forced to sell, it's stealing. You get the stupid post of the month award.

What can we do with Chappaqua? They don't live there anyway, so they will probably volunteer to "donate" it to us.

Chappaqua would make a wonderful nuclear waste site. Plus, that's actually a more legitimate use of eminent domain.

I would be more than happy to donate a copy of Atlas Shrugged to be included in every room. Just let me know how many copies you will need. And how about a copy of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal for those who prefer non-fiction.
To: laurens pawpaw
Yeah, it's all feelgood ideas. Probably as close as we will ever come to getting satisfaction from the Supreme Court.

Well, maybe we should limit it to the five who voted against property rights. I think O'Connor has a ranch in AZ -- you know THAT land could be put to better use. I believe that O'Connor voted against the land grab. It was Kennedy who supplied the fifth vote.

I couldn't figure out why they went for Souter's place. He didn't write the majority opinion, but perhaps his place is on a major road. That would make it more attractive.
Also, I found the election results for Weare. That may have played into it also. The Board of Selectmen are more likely to be Republican.
