Poetic Justice

In the recent Kelo et al v. City of New London case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that cities may seize people's homes and bulldoze them to make way for shopping malls or other private development. This gives local governments broad power to seize private property to generate tax revenue.

One of the majority judges, David H. Souter, has a home in New Hampshire. In a brilliant move, a private developer has contacted the local government there, asking that the property of the judge be seized to make room for a new hotel. This Land Was Your Land. Genius!
