I knew the refugee-baiter would be terrible but I hadn't thought he'd be quite this bad.

Of course, the real point of this law is to discredit all hate crime laws. The fact some of the objections liberal posters have raised sound eerily similar to the arguments rightists make about hate crime laws in general make me think it'll work.

JBE was trapped into signing this law is what you're basically saying?

No. He's representing a majority of his state, unfortunately.

Let's not forget that the Republican state legislature passed this. People around here act like Governors are dictators and don't share responsibility with state houses.

Governors can veto.
