Oklahoma doubles down on stupid.

Oklahoma House Panel Approves Bill To Punish Licensing Of Gay Marriage



Quote:
The bill called the "Preservation of Sovereignty and Marriage Act" prohibits taxpayer funds, including government salaries, to be used for any activity that supports same-sex marriage. It also says that those who issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples can be subject to removal from office
Never mind that in June or July when the SCOTUS rules it may very well invalidate all this BS. Why waste tax payer money passing a law that will clearly be struck down. If the courts say marriage is legal, deal with it an move on. I love the name they gave the law. Makes it sound so altruistic and chit.

Google Sally Kern. She is behind most of this money wasting nonsense.

Her husband is the pastor of a large church and her district is cut up to protect her seat. If only the members of her church voted for her she would win and most folks figure this is how she keeps getting reelected.

She is the 'safe' crazy person in the OKC nut-house. The Republicans know she can't lose so she can introduce the insane and unconstitutional stuff the rest of them want to but can't because they don't want to be defeated in an election.

And the really strange part is that when this stuff passes the Tea Party Gov we have here signs it and the Tea Party AG we have hear then drops a few million on defending the laws in court. And when he loses the cases and the law is tossed out Conservatives claim it was a great use of the state's money.

Tax and spend Conservatives run Oklahoma. Maybe someday folks will wake up.

Don't count on it. Tax and spend is all well and good when "your" (general) party is doing it!

Big Republican government is no more palatable than Big Democratic government.

Huffpost- the icon of nonbias reporting? They can give any liberal a personal crusade.

Is Reuters better?

Nothing to do with the bill but a very funny statement by Sally Kern. OK, may be not 'Ha Ha' funny but more holy crap funny. FOX News

Why worry about the source when you can easily verify whether or not the content is true?

It took me all of 5 min to find the bill text.

I think she was the sponsor of the bills in question so I doubt her opinion of homosexuals has changed to much. I did not really care about the age of the post so much as the fact that some moron would place the 'threat' of homosexuality over terrorism. That level of hatred is amazing in and of its self and that fact that she is linked with the GOP is pretty pathetic.
