Supreme Court Justice David Souter attended a ceremony at the New Hampshire Supreme Court today, where a conference room was dedicated to him. It was not padded, nor do I beleive did it have metal bars. Pity.

Tom Rath must of drank too much Kool-Aid. Tell that happy story to the people who lost KELO v. New London.
