Trying to “Kelo” Justice Souter

Here’s the press release for a guy trying to have Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s house taken using the same logic that was upheld in “Kelo vs. City of New London.” The claim is that a hotel on Souter’s property would generate “greater tax revenue or other economic benefit” than Souter’s residence.
To some extent, this looks like a play for publicity. The guy is pushing a TV show about individuals challenging government. However, I’ll bite and follow where this goes. The premise that someone try to do this to the Justices that made this ruling is the ultimate, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” The ultimate outcome is unlikely to be that Souter’s house is seized, but I hope the Justices get some clue as to how some their rulings are an affront to the Constitution.
