And Republicans will selectively apply it, yes, exactly my point.
These “gotcha” bills from Democrats really don’t understand that the “hypocrisy” of Republicans are actually expressions of power.
“I have the power to sign this bill into law that should and would totally apply to me, but I’m going to make sure I never face consequences under such a law. I have a team of good-old-boy judges who will stand in the way and accept any and all appeals from me.”
They will never, ever see consequences of such laws. Look at the fucking lawfare every person in the Trump admin has thrown at the wall. It takes fucking decades for any of these chucklefucks to see any comeuppance. Look at Ken Paxton, the AG of Texas, who was under Federal Indictment for nearly a fucking decade and that case collapsed like a flan in a cupboard.
Further, he’s opening the door to allowing Republicans to begin to claim that LGBTQ+ are sex offenders for existing in front of children, giving them carte blanche to start Alan Turing the shit out of the entire LGBTQ+ community.
It’s a dumb game to play and the Democratic senator should be ashamed for playing it.
