WEARE, N.H. - Following a Supreme Court ruling last week that gave local governments power to seize private property, someone has suggested taking over Justice David Souter's New Hampshire farmhouse and turning it into a hotel.

"The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare," Logan Darrow Clements of California wrote in a letter faxed to town officials in Weare on Tuesday.

Souter, a longtime Weare resident, joined in the 5-4 court decision allowing governments to seize private property from one owner and turn it over to another if doing so would benefit a community.

"Am I taking this seriously? But of course," said Charles Meany, Weare's code enforcement officer. "In lieu of the recent Supreme Court decision, I would imagine that some people are pretty much upset. If it is their right to pursue this type of end, then by all means let the process begin."

Souter??? I am ashamed of you man.... well, guess turn-about is fair play.

It would include a dining room called the "Just Desserts Cafe."

:rofl:

We have about three in the country now, with the flagship located less than a mile from me. It stands to reason we will have more recovering torture victims after the war.

We might also make the ranch into a state sanctioned whorehouse.

"We might also make the ranch into a state sanctioned whorehouse."

Kind of is already.

home for homeless children while their parents find a job to replace the one recently outsourced? I heard there was a nice ranch in Crawford owned by a non compos mentis, and naturally, he wouldn't have a clue what eminent domain meant. You could give him a nice room in the home and a token janitor job. Think about it.
