Will Sauce for the Goose, Be Sauce for the Souter?

On Saturday, February 4, 2006, the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weare, New Hampshire will decide whether to go forward with a petition submitted by Logan Darrow Clements, that the town to use its power of eminent domain to build a hotel and resort on what is now Supreme Court Justice David Souter's property. Clements' project -- The Lost Liberty Inn -- would bulldoze the Justice Souter's farmhouse and build a hotel commemorating the Justice's landmark opinion in Kelo v. City of New London.

The American Conservative Union has joined the fight, urging its supporters to blast fax the Selectman and Town Clerk of Weare to support the plan.
