Plan Your Next Vacation Now!

You will want to reserve rooms in the Lost Liberty Hotel.

Via QandO("the tree of liberty may also be refreshed from time to time with the deeds of tyrants") and Dingo (joyfully barking over this one), we have the story of a proposed new taking of private property for private use. Dingo explains it clearly:
This is too good to be true. Logan Darrow Clements has just filed an application in the City of Weare, NH. to build a hotel at 34 Cilley Hill Road. There is already a house sitting on this land, but by the ruling in Kelo vs. City of New London, the city selectmen can condemn the property under eminent domain.

You may ask why is this any more special than any other lot of privately owned land being stolen the government? Because the house belongs to none other than Justice Souter. Mr. Clements argues that the hotel will bring in more tax revenue and be a bigger benefit to the town than Justice Souter's house will ever be.
I think we should all write to the town council of Weare expressing our intense desire to vacation at such a hotel. We should tell them that it would be a historic success! The gentleman says it isn't a joke:
"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."

Clements' plan is to raise investment capital from wealthy pro-liberty investors and draw up architectural plans. These plans would then be used to raise investment capital for the project. Clements hopes that regular customers of the hotel might include supporters of the Institute For Justice and participants in the Free State Project among others.
The letter sent is here. If ever I have heard of a project likely to make a great deal of money, it is this one. Let's all throw our weight behind it and remove the blight from the city of Weare while we're at it!

UPDATE: Weare's official website is here, and it includes contact information for the selectmen who are the ones who would make this decision.

Also, Democratic Underground has a solid majority supporting this idea. Do something bipartisan today! Evict a Supreme Court Justice. As DU comments:
I don't think it's for real,YET....
...but let enough support roll in and it sure could become real...Think about the number of citizens pissed over the erosion of personal property rights-(left and right, incidentally)-and divide that number by 9-(the number of supreme court justices) and consider the divine justice of each of us investing 10 or 20 dollars and buying ancestral homes out from under their asses for motels, hotels 7-11's and other more economically viable uses....Though we MUST have at least one converted to a "The Peoples Court" motel and museum...Darrow (this other Darrow is leading the legal way-anyone else like the irony of that name?)and I pray other citizens follow.If you have an idea to get this to freepervillle,go for it....on this one we are united....
and:
Ya know, a case could be made regarding ANY house that the property would generate more tax revenue if the land were used for a hotel.
and:
When large numbers of liberals and conservatives agree on something Well, that's really something.
and:
When can I make a reservation?
That's the spirit!


Comments:
I submit the Weare Town Council would invoke room and meal taxes- not to mention the added revenue derived from conventions of a political nature. Supporting business would thrive.

Think of the symbolism. The hotel could be the next Hype Park or Boston harbor (as you noted)- THE place to be to announce or plan other populist movements.

You know, I'll bet I could suggest 4 other potential satellite locations.

Yup, I see it- a chain.

"Court Hotels. For your earned just desserts."
 
It would be fun to work out a suggested menu, wouldn't it? I think a chain could be quite successful.

Oops - sorry, didn't mean to talk about food while you are still in your weakened condition.
 
"My object all sublime,
I shall achieve in time,
To let the punishment fit the crime,
The punishment fit the crime ..."

Hah! I love it!
