Obama acts as though we no longer have a Constitution

Randy Loughner was always reclusive, but since his son's alleged shooting rampage last month, the father has shut himself behind what one neighbor calls "an elaborate cage."

The parents of a man charged with trying to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords are devastated and guilt-ridden, a neighbor said, mourning their own tragedy as Tucson residents prepared Tuesday for a community memorial service and a visit from the president.

The condition of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Arizona Democrat, was described as "holding her own" Tuesday, three days after she was shot in the head at point-blank range during an apparent assassination attempt that left six people dead.
