Supreme Court justice faces boot from home?

A private developer contacted the local government in Supreme Court Justice David Souter's hometown in New Hampshire yesterday asking that the property of the judge – who voted in favor of a controversial decision allowing a city to take residents' homes for private development – be seized to make room for a new hotel.

We can only hope ...

GOOD, I PREFER A SECOND FLOOR ROOM.

Bader and Souter make a lovely couple.
They could live together in Celibacy City.

I suggest he go public with an IPO and use the proceeds to erect other hotels (or even indoor gun ranges) on the homes of the other four 'justices' that are party to this act of fascism.

To be fair, he should THEN go after any selectmen who DO vote for this use of eminent domain ... one at a time, to see what excuses the others come up with to disallow it ... and then, in an expert move, go after his own house.

Then, sell the hotel, and go after that land again to build an EVEN bugger hotel ... you know, big enough to provide $5 more a year in tax revenue.

(For bonus points, erect a giant 10-commandments monument on the property, then grant the hotel to the town as town office space with the caveat that the monument can never be covered or removed.)

I'm all for this!

[bobhoskins]

what if he does and a 4 to 4 tie occurs?

I believe he then LOSES his house, as the current opinion of the Supreme Court is that this is allowed, and they'd need a 5-4 (or other majority) to overturn.

it'll serve that f---er right

Freestar Media: "Lost Liberty Hotel" proposed on Justice Souter's land

How do we go about investing in this development?

[trenton1776]

Perhaps we should know the info on the 5 person Board of Selectmen. They are the ones who'd have to approve the eviction.

Imagine the tourism in that town if they could pull this off - or even if they got a giant amount of press by just voting to condem.

Check out the thread I linked.
The guy behind it is FReeper 'Freemedia'.

See post #69 for more info...

"So tell me, if the local government rejects it, can the developer take them to court? And if he continues to lose, couldn't this theoretically wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court??"

Oh that would be funny!! LOL!! I think this is great! LOL!!

[tomkat]

OOPS - Freestar, not Freemedia

Clements says some people have already offered to put money into the project

Count me in.

[GloriaJane]

Oh! And you have to have a clown room! For clowns Palosi with her runaway bride look and Kennedy with his drunken red nose look LOL!!!

We can get the bulldozers in there much faster than even Souter can file an appeal.

Hopefully there are some Souter family graves on the site so they may be appropriately desecrated.

The Ginsburg harpie does live in DC from time to time. Could be a tad more difficult to take and desecrate her quarters because the Constitution gives Congress full jurisdiction over the District.

Still, she has friends. We might target one of them for this sort of thing.

I bet he could find a shole lot of investors on this forum. Heck, I'd do it just for a little revenge,uh, that is to say, to help the public interests of his old hometown.

and other libs who advocate this - and also start with some of the town councilmen - and liberal senators and congressmen and see how long it takes before they squeal for repeal - while waving the Constitution

[Ethyl]

I understand there a properties in Georgetown and Chappaqua that might also be appropriate.

Boston, perhaps???
