LAND FIGHT HITS HOME FOR JUSTICE (Libertarians to seize USSC Breyer's vacation home for park)

NY POST ^ | July 30, 2005 | AP

[Liz]

PLAINFIELD, N.H. — Libertarians upset about a Supreme Court ruling on taking land have proposed seizing a justice's vacation home and turning it into a park.

Signatures are being collected for a petition to ask the town to use Justice Stephen Breyer's 167-acre Plainfield, N.H., property to create a "Constitution Park" with stone monuments to commemorate the U.S. and New Hampshire constitutions, said party Vice Chairman Mike Lorrey.

...........Lorrey told the Valley News. "This is a way of saying, 'You're going to be held to your own standard.' "

Lorrey said the Libertarian petition would place the land-taking request before a town meeting next spring. But Plainfield Town Administrator Steve Halleran said yesterday that he didn't expect voters to support the effort.

The Libertarian Party objects to the high court's June ruling that let New London, Conn., take land by eminent domain and turn it over to a private developer.

Breyer supported the decision, as did Justice David Souter. Earlier this month, a member of the libertarian Free State Project suggested that the town of Weare, about 45 miles southeast of Plainfield, make Souter's home into a "Lost Liberty Hotel."

The Supreme Court's 5-4 court ruling said municipalities have broad power to bulldoze people's homes and put up shopping malls or other private development to generate tax revenue.

This can't lose, I tell ya! The right will get nowhere trying to eminent domain SB's baronial lands, but Team Alternate Current could get it done.

Justice Stephen Breyer
Call it eminent domania.

Public outrage over the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing governments to seize private property and give it to another private party has spread to a second justice whose home is now targeted for confiscation.

Justice Stephen Breyer has joined his high-court colleague David Souter in feeling the wrath of the public, specifically the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, which wants the city of Plainfield, N.H., to seize Breyer's 167-acre vacation retreat by eminent domain.

(It's about time for the PEOPLE to rise-up and defend their rights since the Republican Party is too crippled with compromise to stand up for the PEOPLE!)

ONWARD with American Citizens' OUTRAGE and PROTEST against the unconstitutional tyranny imposed by the Supreme Court of a subversive *agenda marxima* which divests American citizens of their constitutionally guaranteed rights to private wealth, capital & assets, and personal property.

Impeach the Supreme Court justices who are pro-Marxist basturds - they have lost their entitlement to a tenured supremacy.

Neo-Marxism (pseudo-liberalism) seeks to disenfranchised the vast American conspiracy - the middle-class.

"Celebrities can open a "Starbutts" coffee shop."

Urban legend:

U.S. government warehouses were over-brimming with imported coffee beans. SO...the beans were sold/auctioned off to alerted political cronies ala nepotism with the idea of gourmet flavouring the increasing stale-bitter coffee beans where upon they launched through capitistic "liberal" investment some very posh gourmet coffee houses featuring deluxe chic-flavoured coffee as a status symbol for the enlightened elite.

THE BOARD SHIELDS SOUTER

The Weare New Hampshire Board of Selectmen has expressed complete opposition to The Lost Liberty Hotel Project. It seems they don't believe that Supreme Court Justice David Souter should be subject to the consequences of his own ruling. They claim to be defending property rights. However, while they are shielding Souter, thousands of other Americans who are fighting eminent domain proceedings enjoy no such shield. In fact ALL Americans are under threat of losing their home after the June 23 Supreme Court decision.

Tell the five Board members what you think...

GOOD NEWS 1: THE BALLOT INITIATIVE

In New Hampshire citizens can bypass the Selectmen and make law directly. From what we've researched so far, it appears that it will take only 25 signatures to put on the ballot a measure to begin eminent domain proceedings to take Souter's land at 34 Cilley Hill Road and clear the way for the construction of The Lost Liberty Hotel. Several of our supporters in the town of Weare have mentioned that they plan to start this process. We want to help them by hiring the best attorney money can buy to draft the initiative in such a way that it can withstand attack from the Selectmen or other hostile parties. To help us pay for this please make a donation/advertising purchase by clicking this link...

GOOD NEWS 2: COMING TOGETHER

All the pieces are coming together to make this project a success. Several real estate development companies have expressed an interest in leading this project forward. We also talked with engineers, attorneys, architects and other professionals who want to help. And of course financing it will be no problem as thousands of you want to own a piece of this living landmark. We are considering making some rooms in the Lost Liberty Hotel a timeshare so that hundreds of you can own a piece of it instead of just a few.


A MOVIE AND A WEEKLY TV SHOW !


The reason I started Freestar Media is to make a "pilot movie" and produce a weekly TV newsmagazine (like "20/20" or "60 Minutes") for national syndication. The TV show will expose outrageous government abuses around the world and highlight individuals taking a stand against them.

Unfortunately current laws may prohibit me from telling you that we are seeking financing for stage two of our business plan (making a movie). I wish I could tell you that Freestar Media seeks four $75K accredited investors, but that might be illegal so I'll have to keep it a secret for now. It's too bad that raising start-up capital is almost illegal in a nation that is supposed to be capitalist. Perhaps I should do a show on that!

YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED

When the Supreme Court ruled in "Kelo vs. City of New London" that a city can take your house and give it to private developer, I was outraged.

In response, I proposed building the Lost Liberty Hotel on land owned by one of the Justices who voted in favor of this decision.

Below is an update on the project. You can help support this project by sending a check made out to "Freestar Media, LLC". (We are a for-profit media company not a charity so you can't deduct this on your taxes.) Please put "support/ advertising" in the subject line and send it to..

Interesting.

[meatloaf]

You're right. Instead of a park maybe redevelopment into a trailer park is in order.

[Artemis Webb]

There is NOTHING more fundamental to individual liberty than property rights. The ruling by SCOTUS was an abomination. I know this is all talk and in the end Breyer and Souter won't be touched. I know it just as I know that I wish I was wrong.

[26lemoncharlie]

These Socialsits Judges could care less about their property, they are out to destroy our Constitution and our wasy of life here in America. They have other Homes, they could care less about yours!

Thanks for the ping, this is a feel good article. However I sure wish they would go for their main residence. Might make them feel it a bit more. I am still in shock over this outrageous ruling, what were these morons thinking anyway.

[Stu Cohen]

It would fit the Kelo criteria much better if it were converted to a shopping mall or a Wal-Mart rather than a park since tax revenue will be much higher from a commercial entity.

Yes, but this guy's house is in the sticks. Apparently, the deer outnumber the people.

I don't know how much money a mega-store would generate, because there aren't enough people there to buy stuff. The Hotel is a better idea, because it would increase tourism. And a park is for "public use" ... so maybe it could happen, but the judge doesn't seem worried.

They know the laws don't apply to them, and there is no way this will happen.

My concern with a park is that it isn't going to fit the paradigm of "public good = increasing tax revenues" that is at the heart of the Kelo decision. A hotel catering to tourists certainly could if the population density is not enough to support a Wal-Mart or shopping mall.

Of course, if the population density is that low, perhaps light agricultural industry such as a chicken processing or dairy operation might be even better? I think that there is growing demand for better quality cheeses, so perhaps a cheese-maker might be a good match?

Well, the fantasy is that the Judge would take a whopping financial loss, as eminent domainians lowball prices.

I know a place on the East Coast that was eminent domain'ed for $45/square foot, a couple of months after the neighbors sold to the developers for $290/square foot.

That's the threat. "Either sell it for whatever we want to give you, or the government will give it to us for pennies on the dollar".

And that's another thing we are overlooking. I think he has to be given a chance to sell voluntarily, before being forced out. He may decide to thumb his nose at everyone, and say "go ahead, but it from me".

This really is fun to talk about,and is a nice vicarious thought ... but it ain't gonna happen. The law doesn't apply to those who make the laws (did you kow that congress was exempt from the laws they passed?). That's why they make them.
