Eminent domain activist to visit supporters in Weare

The plan to condemn land owned by Supreme Court Justice Souter to build a hotel may still be just an ironic attempt to illustrate how eminent domain is rarely used to against the rich and powerful. But could the idea be gaining momentum?

Logan Clements, the California activist who has proposed building a hotel on land owned by Supreme Court Justice David Souter, announced yesterday he will come to town Saturday to next Tuesday to meet local supporters.

"I've got lots of supporters there, and I'd like to meet them," he said in a phone interview.

Clements, who seeks to claim Souter's land in Weare through the use of eminent domain, said he would meet with local allies who hope to put the proposal on next year's town ballot.
