Special Prosecutor Francis Schmitz has issued a series of subpoenas to 29 conservative groups, demanding that they submit all documentation related to the recall campaigns mounted by unions and their supporters against Walker in 2011 and 2012.

My Take – This is really scary.  Under what rationale can this be considered legal under the U.S. Constitution?  Secret investigations where public officials can search your home, your personal papers, you can’t defend yourself publically, they can carry on indefinitely, no one is allowed access to the reason for this action and in point of fact there doesn’t have to be any probable cause.  Who passed this law? Why hasn’t its Constitutionality been challenged in court? There is no law or moral standard the left won’t obviate in order to attain power.  The morality of the left is the convenience of the moment.  If this were being done in reverse these same people, and their allies in the media, would be screaming to high heaven that their Constitutional rights were being violated, but just like Harry Reid, "who would never use the nuclear option", when he was in the minority, has decided it's now time to obviate the rules of the Senate because it's now convenient to do so. 

One more thing. Please read the comments.  It's even worse than this article outlines.
