Stupidest thing P.J. O'Rourke ever wrote
Here:
"Imagine trying to make the Ten Commandments into laws."
Hm. I thought we already had.
Stock markets remain closed on Sundays, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. At least five states still explicitly prohibit car sales on Sundays, and most dealers elsewhere are closed anyway. Alcohol sales remain restricted or prohibited on Sundays in many places. Massachusetts still has a one-day-of-rest-in-seven statute. Most banks are closed on Sundays, along with many other businesses. Congress rarely works on Sundays, let alone Monday through Friday.
And then we have these trifles of the law which never seem to go out of style, unless you are a feminist, a banker or a politician:
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
That's the problem with libertarianism. It has no imagination.

Hutaree Keep Silent And Do Not Plead
Reuters is reporting here that defense attorneys for recently arrested Hutaree militia members are arguing their clients should be released on bond pending trial because the government's case against them is political and not criminal.
One attorney is quoted as saying that the government is "prosecuting people who have only exercised their First and Second Amendments rights."
Some of the arrested apparently refused to enter a plea and kept silent. In such cases a plea of "not guilty" is entered for them.
The judge is expected to make a decision on bail on Good Friday.
