| #6 If they refuse to use the power of eminent domain, he can sue them in court to *force* them. If this is how it goes it will be interesting to see how they defend the *loss* of jobs and tax revenues in court -- and to the voters. |

| #5 A friend just sent me the link to the town of Weare's web page. It includes the names of the Board of Selectmen's names and expiration of office. A RBer suggested yesterday that the five selectmen be replaced with pro-"Liberty Lost" candidates. Good idea,but may not be practical since two members terms expire in 2006, one in 2007, and the other two are scheduled to be in office until 2008. I certainly would not want to be a board member because the Supreme Court ruling has all the makings for anarchy. Imagine if the majority of the board disallow Clement's application then their property may be next for eminent domain condemnation. If they rule in favor of the application, someone who agrees with the Kelo taking decision might seek revenge by seeking condemnation for a similar purpose. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I'm considering becoming a FARKER just to help keep the pressure on Weare and Souter. BTW, Drew only needed 100 committments to the Farker Party at Liberty Lost Hotel, at latest count 250 Farkers have signed up. |

| #4 Drew Curtis over at FARK has already started a sign up list to attend a FARK party at the new Liberty Lost hotel in 2006 or 2007. The last count was 59 pledges to attend. I wonder if the other four justices who never read the Constitution either are beginning to worry about the future of their abode? Could make for an interesting summer. |

| #2 Nope - I've kept my eyes open about this too. I reckon hell keep his mouth shut though. I'm VERY excited to see how this plays out. |
