In which the son of one of America’s most prominent First Amendment lawyers drools over the thought of Republicans being sent to the pen for ignoring a state-mandated loyalty oath. If his pal Olby urged Countdown’s nutroots viewers to defy an unconstitutional GOP oath, they’d be running promos at MSNBC about the “noble tradition of civil disobedience.” As it is, he and Jeralyn Merritt are happy to sit there and game out ways of getting Limbaugh frog-marched away. It’s of a piece with the left’s interminable whining about Hillary and the superdelegates: Instead of recognizing that the rule is stupid and should be changed, they fault their opponent for using that rule to his/her advantage. The obvious solution would be to close all primaries and require voters to change their registration three or six months in advance, before the race shaped up and strategic voting angles became evident. But why do that when you can whine about people being “un-American”?

In any case, Chaos isn’t illegal in Pennsylvania — and people are taking full advantage. Keep hope alive, Hillary! Click the image to watch.

Update: I’d forgotten all about this but commenter SoulGlo didn’t. Here’s Kos on January 10, urging his readers to skip the meaningless Democratic primary and cross over to vote for Romney for precisely the same reason Limbaugh has vis-a-vis Hillary: “[W]e want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us. We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan.”
