You know what this country needs?
It needs a law, maybe even an amendment to the constitution, that says that politicians (and maybe civil servants) can be sued for political malpractice.
So when religious nutjobs seize control of certain parts of the government and pass a clearly illegal and incredibly badly written new regulation like the new changes to 2257, they can be sued, and made to pay for the time and money, both individual and government money, that is wasted by their political trickery.
Think about it – the idea of POLITICAL MALPRACTICE.
As it stands now, politicians can get away with anything – they can, and do, knowingly pass bad and unconstitutional laws. They can pass irresponsible budgets. They can vote their pals huge tax breaks and even vote to give them huge government benefits – corporate welfare.
It’s time to hold politicians responsible when they abuse the public trust. Elected leadership positions should not be a platform for corruption, abuse, and plain bad management.
The new 2257 is a slap in the face to earlier judicial decisions, is certain to be struck down, and is just a cheap attempt to pay off the religious nutjobs that the current administration allows to control the majority of ordinary Americans.
