Justice!
Hello Folks,
Some time last week, the U.S. Supreme court ruled on the issue of emminent domain. What made this situation unique is that it allowed PRIVATE PROPERTY to be taken for another's PRIVATE USE if it could be proven that the new use would benefit the community (i.e. give higher tax revenue). I was greately saddened by this development. The relentless march of tyranny moves on.
John Adams, in his 1772 work The Rights of the Colononists said, "Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property;" It is increasingly sorrowful that the very principles our founders fought and died for are being stripped away.
In an interesting turn of events, justice might be served with some old fashioned justice. In New Hampshire, a Mr. Clements has filed the following with the local enforcement officer as follows:
"Although this property is owned by an individual, David H. Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. City of New London, clears the way for this land to be taken by the government of Weare through eminent domain and given to my LLC for the purposes of building a hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare."
Here is the kicker, David Souter is none other then one of the Supreme Court Justices who RULED in Kelo v City of New London that the government could do EXACTLY what Mr. Clements desires to do.
Mr. Clements hopes to create the "Lost Liberty Hotel" with a "Just Desserts" cafe along with a museum to our lost liberties. This is no prank, and is one step towards holding our leaders accountable to the SAME STANDARDS that they are promoting.
