The effort to subject Justice Souter to a taste of his own medicine is, it seems, continuing:
“CONCORD, N.H. — Angered by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that sided with a Connecticut city that wanted to seize homes for economic development, a group of activists is trying to get one of the justices who voted for the decision evicted from his own home. The group, led by a California man, wants Justice David Souter’s home seized for the purpose of building an inn called “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.”
I doubt if this will get very far, but if even making the effort gives the man some faint glimmer of understanding of the consequences of his decision, it will be worth it.
