Souter To Be First Victim Of His Own Malfeasance

In a feat of unprecedented irony, a hotel developer has proposed to the Selectmen of the Town of Weare, NH, that some land be reclaimed under the banner of "better public good" because it will increase tax revenue to the town.

The rub?

It's Supreme Court Justice David Souter's land.

Looks like the second victim of this ruling following Suzette Kelo and her misfortunate neighbors will be the Chief Jackass who, from the judicial bench, exceeded his authority to "enact" it into law.

Here's a paragraph from the article at NewsMax:

"Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans."

I always thought that the funny thing about karma is the way it describes how those that do evil get it back upon them, and not in the abstract "after you die, you get your punishment" sense - but right up close and personal-like, and in short order, too.

Oh, well - better to have ruled and lost, than never to have ruled at all, hey Justice Souter?
