Another Supreme Court Justice to Lose Land in NH?

This is just starting to make NH look a bit nutty.

Libertarians upset about a Supreme Court ruling on eminent domain have proposed seizing Justice Stephen G. Breyer's vacation home and turning it into a park, echoing efforts aimed at another justice who lives in the state.

The state's Libertarian Party is trying to collect enough signatures to go before the town next spring to ask to use Breyer's 167-acre property for a "Constitution Park" with stone monuments to commemorate the U.S. and New Hampshire constitutions.

The plot mirrors the party's ongoing effort to get the town of Weare, about 45 miles to the southeast, to seize Justice David Souter's home after a California man suggested the town turn the farmhouse into a "Lost Liberty Hotel.

I'm going to say that hopefully this is only happening because they both have property in NH. But, why do they have to go about protesting the eminent domain finding in such a childish way?
