Hilarious!
Justice David Souter was one of the folks who voted in favor of allowing the seizure of private property for nebulous reasons in last Thursday's Kelo v. New London decision.
Now, a satirical group called Freestar Media is seriously contacting a New Hampshire land developer and suggesting that a hotel be built on Souter's property there. They have contacted the city of Weare, New Hampshire in an attempt to get them to seize the property by virtue of their newly-granted eminent domain rights so that the property can be turned over to a private developer.
I understand these people are satirists, but this appears to be genuine. Of course, one of the problems with satire is that it can be mistaken for the truth (cf. "A Modest Proposal"). Nevertheless, I suspect that Freestar Media is just crazy enough to actually suggest building a hotel on Souter's property.
Comments
I thought the conservative party doesn't care for the little guy. Aren't liberals supposed to stand to rich, greedy land developers?
Regardless, I would like to hear Justice Souter give an explanation as to why his home should be an exception.
