    I’m no lawyer/judge and I didn’t even stay in a Holiday Inn last night. Disclaimer complete.

    This is not legal. It’s a performance that uses real, live human men, women and children as the scenery and props. They’re counting on the short-term gain from the headlines reaching their bigot base to secure the next win. If challenged, their mental gymnasts might trot out a flimsy argument or two about how it’s a state issue instead of federal (even though it’s clearly not) or something along those lines. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if this gets tested in court eventually but am not holding my breath.

    This should be stopped but that alone isn’t enough. These unpatriotic, anti-American red state politicians with no respect for the Constitution must be removed from all positions of power and influence before they do more damage domestically and abroad.

      They need to be thrown in jail or executed as the traitorous terrorists they are.

        Some belong in jail, some deserve other penalties. Barred from public office at least in a lot of cases and whatever other consequences they might face from professional organizations, licensing bodies, etc. with standards for ethical conduct.
