Hahaha I love this country.

Well I guess I should have checked before posting this again! I think the hotel should be called Poetic Justice.

Dang, Josh, you beat me to it. For more information on the Weare town code manager's office, click here. Of course, nothing is going to make him want to turn Clements' request down and end this story faster than a bunch of property-rights goofballs clogging up his e-mail box.

I want to build a mall. Where does Ruth Bader Ginsburg live?

Too funny!! I like the Atlas Shrugged copy instead of the Gideons.

While I agree with Stevens that a bright-line rule should be avoided to allow deference to local legislatures to decide for themselves, I must agree to a greater extent with Justice O'Connor that a bright line already exists: quoting Justice Chase that a legislature cannot be allowed to act contrary to the "first great principles of the social compact". She correctly foresees that this decision will blur the distinction between public and private holdings and will make vulnerable any property privately held.

I wish my book The Road to Serfdom would be in each room along with Atlas Shrugged

Serfin' USA!

It's refreshing to see something that conservatives and liberals both agree on - neither cares for the spectre of simple majorities of city council members being able to use eminent domain to transfer property from one private owner to another merely because the new owner promises to use the property in a way that generates more tax money for the city.

Texas state Rep. Corte within hours of the SCOTUS decision proposed an amendment to the Texas constitution barring such takings. Within hours of Corte's proposal I wrote to all my state reps urging them to back Corte's proposed amendment with everything at their disposal.

Logan Darrow Clements, you are my hero!!
