    Have you not been paying attention to the laws that red states have been passing for the last decade?

    Sure, it’ll probably be challenged in court, and if our judicial system isn’t complete trash, it’ll be repealed. But there’s a very real chance it gets passed.

      This is just a random proposal. It won’t even make it to a point that it needs to go to a court. He’s just some dude from a small district that has nothing to do.

      I get that American politics are weird AF right now, but shit like this is just posted to get a reaction. When ultimately it might sit on a desk for a week before it ends up in the trash.

        …I said almost the same thing about the random state abortion bans before Dobbs happened.

        Boy did I have mud on my face for that one.

          Yeah, but thats comparing a controversial Supreme Court issue that’s been a hot topic for decades, to a sticks representative elected by 3000 votes filing some random shit that wont gain any traction.

          You can see these dumb ass proposals filed all over in the real rural areas. Hell, you can see them also done higher populace areas for dumb political maneuvers. They know they will fail, but they can say they tried.

            As I mentioned elsewhere, Justice Thomas wanted to overturn Ogberfell and Griswold in the discussion of Dobbs. There’s a LOT of voices wanting to backpedal on porn. Oklahoma is just small enough to make one of those happen.

            The real problem is that the wording (from the article) seems to have been vetted to survive SCOTUS. It’s almost like they’ve done more work and spent more time and money than just the one rep who brought it up.
