Lou Dobbs actually takes the GOP to task for their new extreme position on repealing the 14th Amendment.

It takes a lot of razzle dazzle for a state attorney general to make national headlines on a regular basis, but Virginia Attorney Generaly Ken Cuccinelli is doing his best. His latest attention-grab is his issuing an opinion yesterday that law enforcement officers in the state can ask anyone in the state they stop for another reason about their immigration status. He draws an odd distinction - that officers have the discretion to ask or not ask and are not required to do so. This just seems to make racial profiling even more likely and doesn't at all address the big reason for Judge Bolton's injunction - that this power is reserved for the federal government under the Constitution.

Okay, here's a shameless plug from a proud father for a worthwhile charity project of my fourteen year old daughter Eden. For the second year, she's organizing a 5-K to raise money for an art therapy program for Darfurian kids at a refugee camp in Chad. The program is run by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, America's oldest refugee and immigrant assistance organization.  Folks in Memphis - please consider coming out to run or walk. And others who are interested in supporting the cause can make a donation via the race web site. Thanks everyone!

Eden's Run 5-K
