We're about to start a Season 2 rewatch.
I was just at the gym watching a The Wire s2 episode, and came back to this awful news. Ransone was incredible in that season — so believable as the screw-up determined to live down to everyone's low opinion of him. And great in almost everything else I saw him do. RIP.

A depressing number of news outlets are reporting this without mentioning the minor detail that it would be unconstitutional.
