Nothing, But Still…
Here’s the story as told to me by Barrett Marson, spokesman for the House Speaker: suspicious packages were sent to four members, Eddie Farnsworth, Adam Driggs, Ben Miranda and Kyrsten Sinema. Sinema, understandably spooked by the numerous threatening e-mails she’s recieved over a bill she’s sponsoring that labels groups like the Minutemen domestic terrorists, called the Capitol Police. Miranda, who has not signed on to the bill, also contacted the Capitol Police after recieving a package.
The packages, as it turned out, were pages and pages of court documents from a self-styled “sovereign citizen” in Casa Grande who is out to prove that the State of Arizona has no legal authority over him. The four members may have been chosen because they are all part of the House Judiciary Committee. Although the packages were bizarre, they turned out to be quite harmless.
Thank God for that.

Dang it, Ted. I jumped on your post from yesterday and editorialized about fascist tactics on the right and that isn’t what it was.
So I clipped your rebuttal here and pasted it (with due credit) along with a note to self not to editorialize until I get all the facts (which I have sometimes laid the wood on others for, so I need to do a better job myself.)
