A Clark County judge says Wisconsin’s ban on carrying concealed weapons is unconstitutional. In the case, authorities charged a Sauk City man with carrying a concealed weapon, after he admitted he had a knife in his waistband. He never threatened anyone. In light of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, attorney William Poss filed a motion to dismiss the case on constitutional grounds. Judge Jon Counsell obliged Wednesday, ruling the law is overly broad and violates both the Second and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution.

That's Interesting - [chews sammich] the 14th as well... ?

“The government has to have a compelling state interest to do so (restrict the right to carry) and they have to have the least restrictive means of doing that,” said Poss. “Public safety obviously is a state interest, but there’s all kinds of ways to do that in this regard.” In his decision, Counsell states the law forces citizens to “go unarmed (thus not able to act in self defense), violate the law or carry openly,” but notes displaying weapon’s openly isn’t a “realistic alternative.”

Thanks to "C" for the heads up.

How do you know your stance on immigration reform has gone too far? When Lou Dobbs says 'whoa.'

So the Senate Republicans have been urging repeal of the 14th Amendment as a means of denying citizenship to the children of immigrants. That's harsh. Well, guess who agrees that's too harsh? The king, Lou Dobbs.

Dobbs defended the constitutional amendment which provides birthright citizenship

"The idea that anchor babies somehow require changing the 14th Amendment, I part ways with the Senators on that because I believe the 14th Amendment, particularly in its due process and equal protection clauses, is so important," Dobbs said. "It lays the foundation for the entire Bill of Rights being applied to the states."

So if hard core Mr. Anti-Immigration-Dobbs opposes the GOP push to repeal the 14th Amendment, surely the GOP will see how nuts they are, right? Right? Hello?

Top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee says not so fast. "The Constitution is not as clear as it first appears," Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.) told reporters Tuesday. "I continue to hear good Americans explain to me they think it makes no sense." Wut?

Sessions said "we definitely should look at" repealing birthright citizenship, and "I think hearings is a good way to do it." Yeah. Hearings. That'll solve this non-issue that they pulled out of their asses.

Well, look on the bright side... uh, I guess now no one will be qualified to be President? And they apparently don't want anyone to vote Republican anymore!

Look, it's nothing more than pandering to out of work white collar workers who think illegal aliens are taking their jobs -- to play this out to it's illogical conclusion it would take another constitutional amendment, which will require 3/4 of the states to vote for ratification to be adopted. You won't get 38 states voting to ratify a repeal or modification of the 14th amendment. Not even on the craziest day of the insanity fest they're having over there.
