Connecticut Dem Body-slams 1st Amendment. 1st Amendment Reverses and Pins
The nerve of some Democrats.
To go after the sanctity, the God given right, of a person to wear to the polls their old-school Hulk Hogan tee-shirt (or if you’re older and cooler than that like me, your Bruno Sammartino shirt), takes real gall.
But it happened. In the annals of political shark-jumping history I give you Connecticut Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz. She tried to make the case that voters shouldn’t be allowed to wear WWE tee shirts to the polls, since Senate candidate Linda McMahon was formerly CEO of WWE, and the law does not allow campaign material within 75 feet of a polling place.
So a tee shirt is campaigning? By that (il)logic, you can’t wear your Obama tee shirt to vote either. And what if you have an Obama tatoo? Do you lose the right to vote completely because you can’t get within 75 feet of the SEIU run voting machine?
Thankfully, a judge was able to control this match better than the WWE referees control theirs, and counted out Susan Bysiewicz and her attempt to pull this illegal foreign object from her trunks and bloody Linda McMahon with it.
Vince McMahon takes the credit for initiating the lawsuit and standing behind his fans.
Democracy saved! God bless America!

Susan Bysiewicz has received one too many pile drivers.
Is it true that all elections are fake?

So how is Mollie Hemingway's dad's cross any different ? After all, God is the CEO of a company that isn't running any candidates.
I know, please don't even go there with "any specific candidates" jibes.

Hm. Interesting how an Obama supporter in Texas was barred from a polling place because of her Obama 2008 T-shirt.

So the fear is someone might think, "Gee, I really like that Blumenthal fellow, but the guy four places behind me on line had a Rowdy Roddy Piper shirt on so I guess I have to vote for McMahon."
Wearing the wrong T-shirt to the polls is some sort of crime, but standing in the doorway of the polling place with a nightstick is perfectly legal?
