Kelo vs. City of New London -- Just Kidding, right, Mr. Souter?

Those familiar with Supreme Court's silly and unconstitutional rulings these last few weeks, will know our robed masters (Justice Souter included) decreed, in Kelo v. City of New London, that a city could condemn private property if the property could be shown to generate greater revenue for the city than the private owner. The ludicrousness of this is already coming home to roost. At first, in a light hearted way, Watley Review reported that NYC wanted to condemn New Jersey for development. And, today, news has it that the stakes go up.

Logan Darrow Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, has filed a claim against Justice Souter's New Hampshire home in order to build a new hotel/restaurant. Supposedly, this is legitimate. The hotel will be called "The Lost Libery Hotel" and the restaurant "Just Desserts Cafe".

Quoth:

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

Further:

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."
