WorldNetDaily: Supreme Court justice faces boot from home?

A private developer contacted the local government in Supreme Court Justice David Souter's hometown in New Hampshire yesterday asking that the property of the judge – who voted in favor of a controversial decision allowing a city to take residents' homes for private development – be seized to make room for a new hotel.

Logan Darrow Clements faxed a request to Chip Meany, the code enforcement officer of the town of Weare, N.H., seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road, the present location of Souter's home.

Of course, we all know that Justice Souter will not be forced from his home, no matter what the benefit to the local community. I suspect, as does everyone else except possibly the five justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, that the recent ruling by the Court to expand the definition of public use will benefit the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and weak, not the other way around. Still, I can't help but cheer for the property rights activist who is attempting to evict Justice Souter. I do hope he succeeds. Can anyone say "poetic justice"?
