Saw this on Foxnews and it had me laughing.
Property, Please?
Just days after the Supreme Court (search) said local governments could seize people's homes for the public good, a California businessman has written a letter to the government of Weare, New Hampshire, urging it to seize the property at 34 Cilley Hill Road, so he can build a hotel there.
That address is currently the home of Supreme Court Justice David Souter (search) — who was in the majority of last week's decision. Logan Darrow Clements, of Freestar Media, says his hotel would "serve the public interest" by boosting Weare's economic development and tax revenue. Plus, he says, the hotel — to be named "The Lost Liberty Hotel" — will feature an exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. The city board is slated to discuss the proposal at its next meeting.
That would be great if they took his property. Probably won't happen considering the name of the hotel and the irony behind it, but I would love to see his face watching his house get bulldosed.
Missed the other thread on this. Still funny though
