Former president Bill Clinton campaigns with Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) today in Little Rock, as she continues her bid to earn the right to lose to a Republican challenger in November.
Kentucky senate candidate Rand Paul (R) insisted to a Russian TV station that children born in the United States to illegal immigrants should not be given US citizenship. This idea would completely violate the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, the pesky document that also would prohibit other Paul ideas, such as eliminating jury trials, mandating Christianity and banning any press who insist on writing down what he says.
Enjoy the holiday, as well as the weekend that precedes it.
