Current Events: Revenge of the Homeowner

This is amazing. Logan Darrow Clements is attempting to get the rights to build a hotel on the property of one of the Supreme Court Justices who voted for the decision that it's constitutional to build things like hotels on private property if it will bring in more tax dollars.

Ingenious! The Supreme Court has infringed on the rights of private homeowners, and Mr. Clements is bringing it right back at them by applying the policy to one of their own homes. He has to get a majority vote from some kind of five-man council, but I don't see how they could not give him the rights to do this. The Supreme Court has declared it legal! The only way the justice could save his house is by becoming more of a bad guy---things like intimidation and bribery, unless he can find a way to prove that his house will provide more tax dollars than a hotel.

Mr. Clements is kind of a weirdo---he's an anti-government extremist who supports Ayn Rand's philosophies (he even wants to provide a copy of her novel Atlas Shrugged in every hotel room instead of the classic Gideon Bible). I obviously don't support everything this man stands for, but I certainly support his attempt to show the Supreme Court justices the reality of their recent decision.

I'll be rooting for him all the way, and keeping you updated as well.
