Eminent Domain NutJobs

Sorry, but I'm tired of this BS. You don't like the SCOTUS finding, then change the rules by local legislation or federal legislation. The problem with this Souter Farm thing is that the biggest mouths have no say in it.

The group, led by a California man, wants Justice David Souter's home seized to build an inn called the "Lost Liberty Hotel."

They submitted enough petition signatures _ only 25 were needed _ to bring the matter before voters in March. This weekend, they're descending on Souter's hometown, the central New Hampshire town of Weare, population 8,500, to rally for support.

"This is in the tradition of the Boston Tea Party and the Pine Tree Riot," Organizer Logan Darrow Clements said, referring to the riot that took place during the winter of 1771-1772, when colonists in Weare beat up officials appointed by King George III who fined them for logging white pines without approval.

Fine, you've been heard, now go away.

At least the local State Rep. is making sense:

State Rep. Neal Kurk, a Weare resident who is sponsoring two pieces of eminent domain legislation in New Hampshire, said he expects the group's proposal to be defeated overwhelmingly.

"Most people here see this as an act of revenge and an improper attack on the judicial system," Kurk said. "You don't go after a judge personally because you disagree with his judgments."

I'd bet the judge would even have legal recourse if he could show that the whole thing was punitive and not related to the needs of "the people."
