Developer seeks Souter’s property
A private developer contacted the local government in Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s hometown in New Hampshire yesterday asking that the property of the judge – who voted in favor of a controversial decision allowing a city to take residents’ homes for private development – be seized to make room for a new hotel.
Obviously someone’s doing this to make a point, but it would be the Supreme irony if the judge’s land was confiscated to make way for a hotel.
