If you had any doubts that America has the best government money can buy, the recent Supreme Court decisions should convince you. First, the Court rules that governments can take property from one private owner and sell it to another private owner. Then yesterday, the court rules that peer to peer services are guilty of infringement, even if they themselves aren’t doing the infringing. Using that logic, why aren’t gun manufacturers liable for murder?
In another case, the Court ruled broadband monopolies don’t need competition. Even though most experts agree that America has lost its edge in broadband innovation, the big cable companies praised this decision as “allowing them to continue to innovate.”
Innovate, my butt. What kind of “innovation” has occured in broadband service since its inception? The entertainment industry’s paranoid fear of piracy has kept a lock on upstream bandwidth that broadband customers can have. This has severely hampered innovative new technologies – especially multimedia-rich ones – which depend on such bandwidth to work.
These decisions prove that money talks, and the Supreme Court loves to hear it.
Weare, New Hampshire (PRWEB) — Could a hotel be built on the land owned by Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter? A new ruling by the Supreme Court which was supported by Justice Souter himself itself might allow it. A private developer is seeking to use this very law to build a hotel on Souter’s land.
The proposed development, called “The Lost Liberty Hotel” will feature the “Just Desserts Café” and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon’s Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand’s novel “Atlas Shrugged.”

I really, really hope that the Weare town council votes “yes” on this proposal. That Supreme Court dumbass deserves a taste of his own medicine.
“I will pay to spend 7 nights in a hotel built on property seized from David H. Souter but only if 10 other people will too.”
