Might not the Democrats be worried about the wrong people's rights?

In this 3-minute video, "Sweaty Teddy" holds forth on the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. Short and sweet.

Senator Larry Craig's attorney's will argue that his foot-tapping and hand gestures under an airport bathroom stall is nothing more than free speech, protected by the Bill of Rights. Thus, Craig will attempt to take his place beside John Peter Zenger, Martin Luther King and others in the pantheon of American heroes who fought for First Amendment rights.

More on the wide-stanced crusader from the Star Tribune:

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will argue before an appeals court that Minnesota's disorderly conduct law is unconstitutional as it applies to his conviction in a bathroom sex sting, according to a new court filing.

This is the first time Craig's attorneys have raised that issue. However, an earlier friend-of-the-court filing by the American Civil Liberties Union argued that Craig's foot-tapping and hand gesture under a stall divider at the Minneapolis airport are protected by the First Amendment.

Craig has been trying to withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct. A judge turned him down earlier this month, and now Craig is taking his request to the state Court of Appeals. The Republican at one point said he would resign but now says he will finish his term, in January 2009.

The Larry Craig saga continues. Across the land eyes threaten to roll right out of the socket, onto the floor, past Boise and onto Malibu, where they'll seek some rest and relaxation from this ridiculous story of "Larry Craig--Real American Patriot".

Earlier, The Statesman.com had this little tid-bit up for perusal.

A Wal-Mart employee was arrested Monday after he took cell phone pictures of a shopper’s bottom, Round Rock police said.

The shopper said she heard a camera click behind her as she walked through the store at 4700 East Palm Valley Blvd. When she turned around, she saw 23-year-old Baldemar Vela acting as if he were talking on the phone, according to an arrest affidavit. …”

This raised the hackles of GTL. Reaction from Gun Toting Liberal:

Oh, so it’s A-Okay for the Wal-Mart loss prevention team to zero in on the private areas of their customers all day long as they shop, but if one of the “stock guys” do the same with their cellphone camera, it’s a freaking FELONY?

Frankly, I have to wonder where the line is drawn — a Wally-World shopper with a nice “bottom” is rummaging through the aisles of China’s NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER and an employee drills down for a “close-up” and the employee goes to prison, while the same thing happens in the loss prevention room, courtesy of OTHER employees, and there’s “no harm, no foul”? How does this make any damned sense?

Having worked closely several years ago with Wal-Mart LP guys all over the country, I can say that they don't "zero in on the private areas of their customers all day long". One of the reasons is, a lot of the LP 'guys' are girls. But the LP crew is usually motivated by a higher purpose: promotions through busting shoplifters: money trumps voyeurism, in most cases.

But it's a good premise.
