Rothschild can point to a US Constitution that guards against any abridging of the freedom of the press—and to a Wisconsin Constitution that is even more explicit, declaring that “no laws shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press.”
Yet, both men were arrested. The governor and his allies argue that a federal court ruling that allows officials to establish permit requirements has cleared the way for a wholesale rejection of constitutional values. They will find they are wrong, just as Adams and his associates did when they had Vermont Congressman Matthew Lyon and editor Benjamin Franklin Bache arrested. But the fact that judges and juries will eventually reject Walker’s flawed premises does not clean up the mess that the governor has made. When local elected officials and magazine editors are being arrested, real damage is done to the rule of law and to the broad understanding of basic liberties.
But the damage will eventually be undone. Walker is going too far, just as Adams did. And, as Jefferson explained in the darkest days of his struggle, “A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.”
I know if he runs for President, I will go into shock if he gets the Republican nomination.
More evidence of how xenophobia and scapegoating is the only way conservatives can convince anybody to vote for them.
Thankfully there's no future in that, and as the nation moves on foolish states, like Arizona and Wisconsin, will fall more and more behind.

Of course, Wisconsin got the government they asked for. Twice. I don't know how they feel about Walker now.

Why? We have been electing power hungry idiots that ignore the constitution for DECADES.
So what is they were actually charged with? This opinion piece conveniently leaves that out.
I beleive that we may have one playing POTUS now.
misdemeanor obstruction and resisting arrest.
it seems he interfered with the police with they were detaining another protestor... or so sayeth the police.
it seem the protestors who show up don't have a permit, as is required by law.. and has been backed up by appeals courts.
so they get arrested by the police ( not the Governor, as the clueless seem to believe)
the journalist shouldn't have been messed with, but the protestors,....well, the law doesn't allow much room for police to operate in.
comparing this stuff to the alien and sedition act is ****ing ignorant, though.... so is progressives whining about the Constitution.
Pardon my forwardness...but thats just horse****. You hate Scott Walker because he is a republican. If it was a democrat you would be doing the same thing people are doing today...going through machinations and manipulations to excuse and justify the daily intrusions into the private lives of US citizens.I used to see WI as being just like us (MN) - no more. Now it's like some foreign country where horrible things are befalling her citizens.

Of course they're avoiding that. Otherwise the truth might come out.
Start asking questions about facts and liberals mind set of emotion gets all fuzzy and they forget.

The only way Libbos know how to respond to facts is to start screaming, "liar-liar-pants-on-fire".
