Developer Wants To Seize Supreme Court Justice's Home
Home Would Be Replaced With 'Lost Liberty' Hotel
POSTED: 10:52 am EDT June 29, 2005
WEARE, N.H. -- Following a Supreme Court ruling last week that gave local governments power to seize private property, someone has suggested taking over Justice David Souter's New Hampshire farmhouse and turning it into 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," Logan Darrow Clements of California wrote in a letter faxed to town officials in Weare on Tuesday.

greg,
notice on that ruling it was the Libs who voted in favor, and the conservatives who dissented.

Carlos,
At least one must have bewen a conservative, because 5 justices selected Bush as president in 2000. I really don't care who voted for it, the law sucks.
Someone told me there is a plan to build a ten lane highway through Texas. The land acquisition plan is to acquire a 1 mile swath of land through the state to accomodate the highway, an oil pipeline and a utility right of way. It is likely that the judges who voted for the law had projects like this in mind.
If this is true, they're going to be some pissed off Texas ranchers.

greg,
Justices Anthony Kennedy, Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer-- moderates and Libs-- were the majority.
The dissent in that case was written by O'connor-- a moderate-- joined by Rehnquist, Scalia and Clarence Thomas-- conservatives.

Come on Carlos, you think she's a liberal. That's why you're so happy about her impending resignation.
Alright, I'm in Rome. I pop in to internet cafes to cool down. It's almost as hot as Texas, but AC is a rarity. I paid my respects to JPII today. I made confession at St. Peter's Basilica, attended mass and took communion. The mass was in Italian and I didn't understand much, but I caught the Spirit anyways.
Then I stood outside in a line that was 1 kilometer long, so that I could see Rafael and Michelangelo's work at the Cistine Chappel. It was worth it, but it took a lot out of me. I just had a lemon granita and I'm ready to brave the heat again. I'm going to see il Coloseo and Cerco Massimo.
Ci vidiamo piu tardi.

greg,
you're a wily coyote aren't you. O'connor was appointed by Ronal Reagan, so at best she's a moderate.
"On a divided, nine-member court, O'Connor is a conservative with an asterisk: a pragmatic jurist who, when she sees fit, will vote with the four liberal justices."

I think Rusty probably was not too far off the mark. I was Surprised by O'Connor but Renquist (spelling) is probably next. It' will be down to seven very soon I suspect.

Greg, like five of the judges, obviously doesn't have an inkling of what the simple language of our Constitution says about eminent domain.

I'm glad to see the bitch go, only I was hoping one of those airplanes that keep blundering into restricted airspace would take out the whole court.
And Carlos, Greg's in Rome to support the Italian fascist movement's campaign to raise money to fight the coalition.

Greg: They have masses in English at St. Mary's Basilica.
But the priest there won't listen to confessions if they're more than three hours long.

I hear that Judge Mukasey is going to receive a lot of consideration for the nomination. He's a Reagan appointee, former prosecutor, ties to Israel type of guy, so he would seem to fit the mold.

Oyster:'Greg, like five of the judges, obviously doesn't have an inkling of what the simple language of our Constitution says about eminent domain.'
Oyster, It's true, I don't know what the Constitution says about E D.
I,m against it, isn't that good enough?
Carlos, I'm on vacation in Italy for 23 days.
YBP, A 3 hour limitation blows the deal.
Improbulus,
I know your type. You started killing cats when you were 5 and now you think nothing of killing humans. You can't go into a grocery store and walk down the cereal isle with wigging out (Serial Killer!).
And by the way, the Italian Fascists are pro-war, just like you, you stinking Nazi.

"You started killing cats when you were 5 and now you think nothing of killing humans."
Actually I've always loved animals, but started dreaming of killing hippies before I was 5. At the time hippies were the only species of leftard that I had contact with, but I knew from their stink they were no good. Now I just dream of decorating the streets with leftards dangling from light poles and such. One day, one day...
"And by the way, the Italian Fascists are pro-war, just like you, you stinking Nazi."
Hehe, you're projecting, m'boy, after all, you're the one who hates Joooooooos so much. By the way, how does being pro-war equate with a political ideology? You seem to be in love with Islamofascism, which is nothing but the love of war, so you only seem to be against the US going to war to defend itself or others. You may as well shut up, because every time you open your mouth you expose yourself a little more for what you really are; liar, hypocrite, terrorist supporter, racist, and fascist.

I am none of the above. Nor do I hate Jews. I don't like the relationship we have with Israel. Hai capito, cretino?

Greg, you're a worse liar than you are a philosopher. Nobody here has any questions about how you feel about Jooooooooooooooos. Feel free to continue though, it's quite amusing to watch your bipolar arguments from day to day. Let's see, this is Friday, so tomorrow you have to post something from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or the Communist Manifesto.

Mukasey has very strong support in the Bush administration. Word is he will either be the nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy or will replace Gonzalez as the Attorney General if Gonzalez is the nominee.

All I was saying is that he would understand the war on terror because of having israeli relatives, unlike a lot of the bleeding-heart pinkos in this country. I don't think anyone is suggesting that the national security of Israel comes before the U.S. We just need people who understand the War on Terror and the need for provisions like the Patriot Act, and I'm just saying that I think Mukasey is that type of guy for numerous reasons. Perhaps it wasn't the best way to put it and to that extent I apologize. I should have also pointed out that he put away a bunch of the 93 WTC bombers.

Paul Joseph Watson | July 1 2005
'After the resignation today of Sandra Day O'Connor, many Washington insiders are predicting that current Attorney General Alberto Gonzales could be Bush's pick to take her place.
Even if he isn't selected this time, another space will open up when the ailing Chief Justice William Rehnquist quits.
The Democrats will come out in full force against Gonzales and then Bush will be able to claim that petty minded partisanship is the motive behind the dissent. This fake squabble will mask the real reasons why Gonzales should be opposed across the board.
Bush will play the race card in lauding the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court and Gonzales' detractors will be labelled as racists.
We don't care whether a person is Hispanic, black, white, male, female, or polka-dotted, just as long as they believe in freedom and the ideals of the Founders.
On every single issue Gonzales has proven himself to be an enemy of liberty.
Gonzales is anti-gun, pro-abortion and pro-torture.
He came out in support of the semi-auto ban earlier this year.
Gonzales cast the tie-breaking vote in the Texas Supreme Court against a parental-consent requirement before a minor could obtain an abortion in the state of Texas.
Gonzales wrote the guidebook for torture, saying the Geneva Convention was "obsolete" and "quaint." He advocated indefinitely holding detainees at secret locations and subjecting them to abuse.
Gonzales said that Bush was above federal ad international law. This is a man that believes in dictatorship.
Gonzales is less conservative than John Forbes Kerry!
Gonzales believes that the Supreme Court alone decide what government actions are constitutional. According to World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah, Gonzales once told him during a dinner, "The Supreme Court tells us what the Constitution says and means."
This is a man that believes the Constitution is a living document and that nine black-robed brethren have carte blanche to interpret it any way they deem fit.'
