Locking out WI protestors - I don't get it
How can the Governor lock out the people who pay his salary? I really don't see how he can legally do this. Can someone explain to me how he can keep citizens covered by their State Constitution from participating in a Federal Constitution act of the 1st amendment. Seems to me that Walker is breaking all kinds of laws, infringing upon Constitutional rights and no one seems to be doing a damn thing about it.

1. He tells people to lock them out and they obey him. That obedience is the problem. nt

4. Actions of a desperate, out-of-control man
This thing hasn't even STARTED yet -- and Walker's limited popularity is gonna tank like a lead balloon by the time it's finished.

5. it's one of the many variants of Catch-22
"They are allowed to do anything to us that we can't stop them from doing."
