Your Take/My Take - NRA - How many innocent people must die?

The Good! *Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) * Congressman Sensenbrenner - one of the most Conservative Congressmen in the country - gave his take this weekend on Rep. Michelle Bachmann's Muslim Brotherhood witchhunt. The Bad! *Masterpiece Cakeshop* Last week - Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig went to the Lakewood, Colorado bakery to order their wedding cake. While they are getting married in Massachusetts - where same-sex marriage is legal - they wanted a cake for a celebration with family and friends in Colorado. However - the owner of the cakeshop - Jack Phillips - refused to make them a cake. And the Very Very Ugly! *Russell Pearce* Pearce - the former Arizona State Senator who authored Arizona's controversial SB1070 immigration law - gave his take this weekend on the shooting in Colorado. Rather than just expressing his condolences to the families of the victims - like most people did - Pearce decided to call out the victims in a Facebook post.

Over the weekend - protesters in Anaheim, California were met with a brutal show of force by that city's police officers. Is this latest episode of police brutality a sign of the over-militarization of the nation's police forces - and what can be done to stop the epidemic of excessive force?

Super wealthy Americans like the Koch Brothers have corrupted our democracy with millions in campaign cash. But at least they put their name to it. What about the other oligarchs who are buying our democracy in the shadows? Do they have a right to anonymity when it comes to buying politicians?

In the wake of the Colorado shooting massacre on Friday - politicians and everyday Americans alike are questioning the role of guns in our society. Should lawmakers introduce stronger gun-control legislation - or are mass shootings something we need to learn to live with now that the Supreme Court says the NRA and their weapons manufacturing corporations are persons?

For our Friday Conversations with Great Minds, Thom spoke to Jeffrey Smith. He's a leading consumer advocate in the fight against the use of genetically modified foods.

Mike Glaze, Mayors Against Illegal Guns joins Thom Hartmann. Another senseless act of gun violence left 12 people dead and nearly 60 injured at a midnight screening of the new Batman movie last night in Colorado. How many more tragedies is it going to take before we pass sensible gun control laws to protect American lives?

Justice Antonin Scalia is out of touch with society - out of touch with the founding principles of this nation - and out of touch with judicial ethics. Isn't time he was tossed out of the chamber?

Robert Engelman, World Watch Institute, joins Thom Hartmann. All across America - record high temperatures and a lack of rain are causing a nightmare for the nation's farmers and agriculture industry. Just how badly is the largest drought in decades hurting our food supply - and is this a glimpse of things to come in the age of global warming?

The Good! *US District Judge Todd Campbell* Yesterday - Campbell ruled that officials in Rutherford County, Tennessee need to stop preventing Muslims from worshipping in a newly contructed mosque.

David Selig, conservative commentator Vs. Thom Hartmann. Republicans have a tough choice to make - raise taxes on the all important millionaires and billionaires - or cut spending to the massive military. Are Republicans willing to break their promise to Grover Norquist in order to protect the defense industry?
