Tea Partyers gone wild!

By Justin Elliott

Gold, guns and anti-gay: State legislatures have become havens for the battiest Tea Party ideas ever.

With the new Tea Party presence in Washington, a fair amount of attention has been paid to extreme legislation proposed by emboldened conservatives in Congress. But you haven’t seen anything until you check out what’s going on in America’s statehouses.

Earlier this month, news broke about a bill making its way through the South Dakota Legislature that, under one interpretation, would have made it legal to kill abortion providers. While that measure was, after a loud public outcry, shelved, it’s actually just the tip of the iceberg. From bizarre schemes involving gold to outright advocacy of nullification, state legislative chambers across the country have become havens for the wildest, most zany dreams of the Tea Party crowd.

Here are nine of our favorite proposals that are — we kid you not — actually pending in state legislatures today.

With Pearce and his Tea Party cadre firmly in control of the Arizona legislature, this new bill is hardly being treated as another bizarre episode in extremism by Arizona’s residents and observers.

Along with the rest of the Nation.

Over 50 years ago the Court struck down such laws as illegal, citing among other reasons local office holders’ oath to obey the US Constitution.

Yes, with Pearce getting drunk and running around topless.
