AZ County GOP Pols Squash 1st Amendment Rights

Posted by: Blue Collar Muse in 1st AmendmentBlogrollBreaking News,CensorshipConstitution IssuesElephant BitesGOPInternet Interests

Usually when I hear stories about a Governmental something-or-other trampling on the 1st amendment rights of Liberty loving Americans I think of national Democrats and their smarmy puling about the beat down they take on Talk Radio.

In what will no doubt be a visual aid for examples of “GOP behaving stupidly”, a group of Arizona Republicans (likely outmaneuvered by the lone Democrat involved), has decided that the 1st Amendment’s guarantees don’t extend to residents of Maricopa County if the people doing the speaking happen to also work for the Government.
