A request was filed on Monday with the town of Weare, New Hampshire. It was a request to begin the process of building “The Lost Liberty Hotel” in town - on a piece of land that currently has a house on it. A house owned by Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
The request was filed by Logan Darrow Clements, CEO of the libertarian media company Freestar Media. He seems to be pretty serious about his request and is in the process of getting some investment capital to get the thing built. If he can get three people on the town’s five-person Board of Selectmen to vote his way, the eminent domain rule will allow him to begin his development.
Well, I guess Justice Souter will just have to move. I mean, his house isn’t bringing in nearly the revenue for the town that “The Lost Liberty Hotel” would. It’s ok Judge, I’m sure you can find another house. Or hey - maybe Mr. Clements will let you stay at the hotel for cheap?

Clements says he wants to bring in wealthy investors to fund his plan, but I wonder if he’d consider a small-dollar campaign. You know, get 100,000 to contribute $20 each in exchange for a brass plate in the Hotel Souter lobby? I’m ready to write a check.
