Arizona corrupts First Amendment

Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal

Though unlikely to pass any First Amendment test. Arizona's Gov. Jan Brewer has a bill on her desk that would in essence make 'trolling' illegal. The law states 'It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use any electronic or digital device and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person.'"
This did indeed manage to pass through both houses of legislature and only needs a signature to become law.

It's getting awfully close now, Min!

Of course it's just a joke.
Or is it?

I hope that this is a joke. I hate trolling as much as the next guy, but you don't solve a problem by banning everyone from ever exhibiting behavior deemed undesirable by a third party.

What is it with Arizona? That state has become the testing ground for all these crazy right wing laws. It's like the political Los Alamos only people actually live there!
