Campaign to seize US judge's home

You might have heard of a Supreme Court case in which residents of a small town in Connecticut were fighting to stop the city from demolishing their houses for "public benefit". The city wanted the space for commercial use and not for public use, so basically it was whack and unconstitutional. Unfortunately the Supreme Court voted against the residents and comeuppance was soon in the works.

Residents of the town in which one of the Justices lives in are working to seize his house.

"They want a compulsory purchase order on the 200-year-old farmhouse, and say they will build a hotel in its place."

"Mr Clements needed only 25 signatures calling for Mr Souter's house to be compulsorily purchased, to put the issue to a ballot of the 8,500 residents of Weare.

He says he already has 188 names."

It may not be the kindest thing, but the irony would be absolutely amazing. Can't say I'm completely for it either, but this man can get a new house, I don't know if those Connecticut residents can.
