They Want to Take Justice Souter's House

The Volokh Conspiracy reports:

I see that the Lost Liberty Hotel project is still going. I frankly had assumed that the whole thing was a joke at the time concocted to create media attention around the Kelo issue. In fact, it appears that the sponsors of the hotel are continuing to move forward with the project. They are in the process of collecting petition signatures to place an initiative on the local ballot for the Town of Weare to take Justice Souter's farm and convert it into an inn for purposes of economic development. According to their web site (I haven't independently verified the rules of the Town of Weare for such initiatives), they claim that it only takes 25 signatures on a petition to place an item on the local ballot. They also claim taht 1418 people have pledged to stay at the inn if constructed, which they argue adequately demonstrates the prospect of economic development from construction of the inn.

Making life difficult for Justice Souter.
