David Souter, one of the judges who supported the absurd eminent domain decision of the Supreme Court, might now have to swallow his own medicine:
In the small town of Weare in New Hampshire, an investment firm wants to build a hotel at the address 34 Cilley Hill Road. However, there is still a house at this very address. Coincidentally, it belongs to federal judge David Souter. Yes, he is one of the judges who signed the ruling. The "Lost Liberty Hotel" would unfortunately not make sense anywhere else, as it is supposed to contain a museum about civil rights. And finally, the entire citizenry would benefit from the tax revenues and so on.
The ruling was about the fact that eminent domain is also legal when the motivation for the construction is not the greater good of society but pure profit - whoever has money then gets the right to the land, even if it is already inhabited. Let's hope that the building committee of the city has backbone and treats the judge according to his own ruling.
