Today’s Wall Street Journal features an editorial on the case of the three political activists arrested in Oklahoma for violating the state’s law against petitioning by non-residents.
An interesting wrinkle the WSJ brings up is that opponents of the initiative made much use of out-of-state resources in fighting against the TABOR drive. That’s all right, evidently.
Oklahoma’s Attorney General denies that there is anything political in his prosecution of these peaceful individuals, but if you think the political class is indifferent to attempts to put limits on their ability to spend, I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. Obviously this is an attempt to intimidate the wrong kind of political activism.
