I’ve Got A Little List Dept
Gem of an idea, found in the discussion of Jazz Shaw’s Hot Air post on the Voting Rights Act litigation:How about a ‘‘Freedom of Speech Act?’’ That one could apply federal monitoring to any state entity (I’m looking at YOU, universities, but also the Indiana Court of Appeals (More on the latter here.)) that attempt or have attempted to limit First Amendment rights on spurious grounds such as ‘‘hatred’’ or ‘‘unfairness.’’[1 UPDATE]At one time there was a need for the Voting Rights Act, but it’s an antiquated law now, rendered irrelevant by the advance of time, demographics, attitudes, and communications.I agree with Dusty.
I tell you what we do need... A ‘‘Second Amendment Rights Act.’’ And I can think of a bunch of states that ought to come under a greater than standard scrutiny when passing laws that relate to this right.

We also need a ‘‘Voter ID Act’’...
