Fortunately, my blood sugar is so low right now (haven't stopped moving since I got to work this morning, just now sat down to lunch at 2:15) that the right-wing crazies barely register. I'm functioning in a blurry fog of to-do lists right now.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I hope you all are right about the bill not passing. I've become a little pessimistic.

It won't pass. Remember this is a state that came very close to having a democratic governer even though the guy elected governer was the one in charge of the election.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

They also voted for a dead guy for senator instead of John Ashcroft.

And wasn't it Missouri that elected a dead guy over John Ashcroft?
Somebody out thataway's got some sense, and Gud can't cast that many votes himself, can he??
ETA: Ha!! Dead guy x-post!!!

Yay nerve block!
The reason they want to move? So they can own property.
My friend's husband found a new job that is in a place with a lower cost of living (and they lived there before and liked it), better schools, a shorter commute, people he's worked with before and likes, and even though she has to leave her job here, they come out financially ahead with this move. It's a no-brainer.
Hmph.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, to the states.
Smarty lawyer is, of course, correct -- I was just thinking of the original part of the Constitution and not the amendments. And I agree that it's way unlikely that this will get anywhere even if it did get to the court, but, yeah, nutso state leg.
(But, sadly, I know people who would just love to ditch the 14th.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
