With All The Talk About Texas....
#6
RE: With All The Talk About Texas....
I can't help but suspect that bills like this get pushed through at the state level because the sponsers know damned well that such bills will never survive judicial review, thus feeding into one of the right's favorite talking points: that the federal government is out to trample federalism and deny states their due authority under the 10th Amendment. It's just red meat for the rubes and a sure-fire way to ensure a steady supply of campaign contributions for public servant wanna-be's who will then take their anti-government ideology to D.C. and fuck up things even more than they already are.

In other words, as stupid and offensive as this bill is, I believe their is a longer-term strategy at play here.

The bastards.
