Just Desserts

Presumably, you are as saddened as I am by the recent ruling of the supreme court which upholds the state’s right to seize property from individuals to give to other individuals (if the state government will generate greater tax revenue as a result of the property “reassignment”). If so, you may be consoled a little by the fact that someone is trying to use the new ruling to seize the home of Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter. His idea for building a hotel on the property of the Justice’s current home will, most likely, generate greater tax revenue for the area, but it’s unlikely to succeed for obvious reasons… Clearly, the Supreme Court meant the state has a right to seize your homes, not theirs. My favorite bit from the press release:
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. Instead of a Gideon’s Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged.”
