I reorganized and rewrote this so that it may properly cover the subject matter in Lost Liberty Hotel, which I think should redirect here; see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Lost Liberty Hotel for the debate. I deleted this text, which I considered trivial and irrelevant:
- The Lost Liberty Hotel is to replace the farmhouse where Souter spent most of his youth. In fact, Souter moved there when he was 11 years old along with his family after his grandparents had passed away. Souter's father was a banker with the New Hampshire Savings Bank in Concord. He died in 1976, but Souter's mother still lives near the farmhouse in a retirement home.
Leaving it here in case anyone thinks otherwise. Tualha 7 July 2005 21:32 (UTC)
It would be worthwhile to mention why he picked Souter instead of one of the other four, if anyone knows. Perhaps because Souter has a residence in New Hampshire, and Clements plans to move there as part of the Free State Project. (Not sure where I read that, one of the news stories I think.)

When the Kelo decision was announced I sent an email to about 6 or 7 people, including Doug (Logan Darrow) Clements, suggesting that we should use eminent domain to take away Souter's farmhouse and redevelop it into a mansion with a greater assessed value (and therefore greater tax revenue to the local jurisdiction). I later changed my suggestion to a bed and breakfast. I chose Souter because I happened to know he lived in New Hampshire and I assumed that the New Hampshire political figures would be more willing to cooperate in such an endeavor. I simply didn't know WHERE the other four justices lived. JeffreyDurbin 29 December 2005 17:02 (UTC)
Reworded Rep. Kurk section on Clement's plan, included FULL quote, and updated the link. Old link to Boston Herald story was bad, as you can see. It is a pay site, and the article has expired for free viewing. It's available on numerous other sites, however - for free. Nhprman 01:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
