Let me see. The Walkerites want to grant the right to almost all of us to carry guns just about everywhere if we feel like it. The Capitol had been exempt, but the author of the bill has changed her mind. Huzzah! Looks like we will be able to pack heat in the Capitol as well. Then, asks Senator Erpenbach, why have metal detectors at the entry? Oh, well, they stationed them at the doors before the latest version of concealed carry had been introduced by the NRA.

They have gone bonkers! We never had detectors before Walker-inspired demonstrators scared the Fitz-Walkers. Now we can carry a gun into the Capitol? (Why not require everyone to pack heat?) I say why force us to guess what is inside that lunch box? Assume it is a gun so you can out-draw the nasty senator!

Read Pocan: Mark Pocan has a terrific post this morning on the decline of Wisconsin under Walker.

Paul Ryan looks foolish, but let’s hope he keeps on keeping’ on. The vote to dismantle Medicare in the Senate was another defeat for the Ryan “road to poverty.” Good news: the GOP continues supporting the Ryan plan. The bad news is Bill Clinton and Joe Biden caution Dems to reform Medicare. (Don’t you wonder?) Grover Norquist–Americans for Tax Reform–is sending 150,000 five-minute videos of Ryan’s defense of his loopy plan. Hell, we should pay the postage! Norquist is thinking about a grassroots training program to push the Ryan plan! Maybe we can join him!

But first, the GOP opposes Elizabeth Warren as head of the agency she essentially created–the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

And now Goodwin Liu has withdrawn from consideration for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals because they could not break the filibuster! Shame on Sessions and the rest. Another brilliant minority nominee placed on the trash heap! Shame on them!
