Lightning Round -- 043015

Haven't done one of these in a while. Seems like the right approach.

• Eugene Volokh asks, "Is Milwaukee County DA interested in pursuing criminal libel prosecutions of his political critics?" Yes. Yes, he is. Next question.
• They argued gay marriage at the Supreme Court yesterday. I don't have any expectation that the justices will find anything other than a right to gay marriage. We will learn the impact of these societal innovations many years down the line. It may turn out that critics were wrong and evil. My grandchildren, assuming they arrive one day, will get to participate in that discussion, assuming the discussion is allowed.
• I don't follow Maryland politics much, but I can't imagine that the rioting and destruction we've seen in Baltimore over the past few days is going to help the potential presidential campaign of former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley very much. 
• Bernie Sanders is getting into the presidential race. He's a straight up socialist and he's running for the Democratic Party nomination. Meanwhile, Bill de Blasio is on the rubber chicken circuit, demonstrating his bona fides as a man of the people and champion of the needy by speaking at a $5,000 per table event in Milwaukee. These are positive developments. It's important for Democrats everywhere to let their freak flag fly and get true to their beliefs. America needs to know where the party of the people stands.
• Were you aware that up to 30% of government bonds in the Eurozone have negative interest rates? Don't all crowd to the front to get in on that action.
• Because of the problems in Charm City, today's game between the Orioles and the White Sox will be played at an empty Camden Yards, as the game is closed to the public. No word on whether my beloved Milwaukee Brewers, who are off to a scintillating 4-17 start, are considering a similar move, although it would be an act of kindness to keep the young, vulnerable and innocent away from Miller Park these days.
