Now that's funny

Last week, the Supreme Court released its opinion in Kelo v New London, which involved the Connecticut city of New London seizing houses using eminent domain to allow for the construction of a new mall. They justified this by saying the new mall would increase the tax base. The Supreme Court decided to allow this by a 5-4 margin.

Now, a man has tried to get the government of Weare, New Hampshire to seize 34 Cilley Hill Rd, so that he can build a hotel there. It just so happens that the property in question belongs to David Souter, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and one of the five members of the majority in said case. The "Lost Liberty Hotel" would also have an exhibit on the loss of freedom in America.

I strongly encourage the governing board of Weare to act on this proposal.
