Oh look, this African American Congressman from Illinois, Bobby Rush, would like to make a speech for the House commending the young people for speaking out against racial profiling in the wake of Trayvon Martin's shooting while donning a hood himself, to show solidarity: "I applaud the young people, all across the land who are making a statement about hoodies, about the real hoodlums in this nation, specifically those who tread on our law wearing official or quasi-official cloaks." Very good.

See, here I thought the First Amendment also had some business about &quot;Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech&quot; which includes symbolic speech. Guess I was mistaken.
If only Bobby Rush had added, &quot;... and by the way, no birth control!&quot; the situation would have been a lot more clear-cut.
Didn&#039;t Mr. Obama lose a Chicago election to Bobby Rush (of the Old Black Panthers)?
