have obviously succumbed to the coercive stance of a sovereign nation to throw their own constituents under the bus.

This is outright un-American.


Here's the interesting thing...these aren't just a bunch of Nobody's in the leg...each one is a Chair or Vice Chair of some fairly influential committees:

Sawyer: Chair - Commerce & Gaming
Hansen: Chair - Higher Education
Fitzgibbon: Chair - Environment
Jinkins: Chair - Judiciary
Frame: ViceChair - Finance
Gregerson: ViceChair - Labor & Workplace Standards
Santos: Chair - Education
Tarleton: ViceChair - Technology & Economic Development AND she's the majority floor leader
Pollet: ViceChair - Higher Education

Only Stanford isn't listed as a leader of some committee, so overall this seems to have quite of bit of influential support behind it from a bunch of the Dem's leadership roll. This could be why this bill has seemingly been fast tracked...it passed out of the House committee today with almost unanimous support (only 1 vote against).
