PLAINFIELD, N.H. - Libertarians upset about a Supreme Court ruling on
land taking have proposed seizing a justice's vacation home and turning
it into a park, echoing a scheme to take another justice's home and
build a hotel.

Signatures are being collected for a petition to ask the town to use
Justice Stephen G. Breyer's 167-acre Plainfield property to create a
"Constitution Park" with stone monuments to commemorate the U.S and New
Hampshire constitutions, said party Vice Chairman Mike Lorrey.

"The point is: What goes around comes around," Lorrey told the Valley
News. "This is a way of saying, 'You're going to be held to your own
standard.'"

Lorrey said the Libertarian petition would place the land-taking
request before Town Meeting next spring. But Plainfield Town
Administrator Steve Halleran said Friday that he didn't expect voters
to support the effort.

The Libertarian Party objects to the high court's June ruling that let
a Connecticut city take land by eminent domain and turn it over to a
private developer.

Breyer supported the decision, as did Justice David Souter. Earlier
this month, a member of the libertarian Free State Project suggested
that the town of Weare, about 45 miles southeast of Plainfield, make
Souter's home into a "Lost Liberty Hotel."

Logan Darrow Clements, of Los Angeles, said he's gotten support from
thousands of people across the country for the plan, and the town clerk
in Weare said she had to return checks from people wishing to donate to
a hotel construction fund.
