You Reap What You Sow

So the supreme court also decided on Monday that it's a good idea to spread eminent domain to the private sector.

So a man named Logan Darrow Clements has proposed to the city of Weare, New Hampshire that he wants to build a hotel on the land that is now owned by Supreme Court Justice David Souter. He argues that he will certainly generate larger tax revenue than the current owner of the land. Oh, how awesome would that be if one of our Justices got personally screwed over by one of their own poor decisions?
