Remember this piece of satire:
Washington-In an immediate municipal action based upon the just-released ruling by the United States Supreme Court, DC Mayor Anthony Williams has announced that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg “needs to start packing” as the city’s plans for a suburban homeless shelter have finally been vetted.
Ginsberg was one of five justices who ruled that city governments may seize private property in the name of furthering beneficial municipal programs.
Ginsberg said she will “respect her own ruling” despite the fact that “I do not agree with it anymore.”
Ginsberg is expected to get a temporary flat with fellow justice, David Souter, until she can “find somebody else to evict.”
Here is the real deal:
Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter’s land.
Justice Souter’s vote in the “Kelo vs. City of New London” decision allows city governments to take land from one private owner and give it to another if the government will generate greater tax revenue or other economic benefits when the land is developed by the new owner.
On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter’s home.
Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, 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 Caf

This made my day. I hope it pans out.
John Cole
I don’t. I hope Cornyn’s bill gets passed.
Stormy70
Ok, I hope that too. Funny, I almost posted a link to Cornyn’s bill, but I was feeling lazy. He’s a good Senator, he always writes me back when I send him a letter bitching about Republican Senators.
JWeidner
Hilarious. I love it.
I’m not familiar with Cornyn’s bill. John, did you write on it and I missed it? Sorry, with a 5 month old baby, it gets tough to keep up with every little bit of news…
Halffasthero
That would be justice in and of itself.

Halffasthero – Where have you been? I’ve been having to drink the Pitch alone :(
Halffasthero
You are never alone.
The scotch is with you. Always.
I had friends over and they went right for the stuff. I can’t afford to replace it ’til after payday. What a jip.
I am drinking mandarin vodka (Absolut) for now with my new vodka glasses. Actually, it’s not too bad. It still isn’t Pinch but it will do until the 15th.
Glad I was missed. : )
