Justice Served
Here's a wakeup call to the the Supreme Court. A decision Monday allows cities to confiscate private land for private use ... before, cities could only claim eminent domain when building schools or roads. No more. Now every private dwelling is fair game, as long as the land could generate greater tax revenue.
Can the Justices ask for a do-over??
Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) 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.
