Fun with "Kelo vs. City of New London"

Freestar Media, LLC has taken a swipe at the ruling of the Supreme Court regarding "Kelo"... by trying to claim Justice Souter's property for the purpose of building the "Lost Liberty Hotel." Excellent!!!

Throwing the words of the majority ruling back at one of the people who voted in favor of this ruling:

[Freestar] points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America.

"This is not a prank" said [Logan Darrow] Clements[, CEO of Freestar].
I wonder how they'll work out the "doesn't apply to me" defense for Justice Souter? This should be fun to watch, although I'm sure I know how it'll turn out...

Proposal letter for the project...
