Cheers to Logan Darrow Clements, who registered his displeasure with the Supreme Court's decision to allow private property to be seized by the government for economic development by petitioning to have Justice David Souter's New Hampshire home condemned and a hote l built on its site. " Our hotel will better serve the public interest, as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue." Clements wrote officials in Weare, N.H., where Souter lives.
It's not likely Souter's home will ever be seized, demolished and turned over to developers. But it could be, legally, because Souter voted with the 5-4 majority to allow it -- probably not realizing he was deciding an issue cutting so close to home, literally. People will lose homes the way he could possibly lose his, which he likely will not. This was all to make a point, a very good point!!!!!!
