What part of UNCONSTITUTIONAL don’t they understand? Its a real pity people elect these idiots to state government and then wonder why they’re going broke. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Now common sense says no…after all it took Jan Brewer realizing that signing that LGBT bill wasn’t worth burning state dollars in various court challenges.

However

Under Fallin’s tenure, the state has enacted 18 bills that restrict access to reproductive services, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights, which leads the litigation efforts of the abortion rights movement.

and the folks at the Oklahoma statehouse have yet to learn about picking the right battles.

So yes, she will likely pass this bill, because it wouldn’t be surprising that there is a belief that the 19th time is the charm.

And why are those who violate the Constitution (and there is no gray area here; i.e. it is not a matter such as hating the President so much because he is black that anything he does is “unconstitutional” even when white GOPer presidents have done the same things he has) not held fully accountable? In this case and in the case of the Senate GOPers refusing to do their Constitutional duty re: Supreme Court justice hearings. It does not get more un-American than violating the Constitution. Yet there appear to be no consequences at all when the GOPers do it. The media is fully complicit in this as they never bring up the basic issue of the GOP being against the Constitution. They go full false-equivalency, as if the Constitution is to be debated like a political football is thrown back and forth. It is no wonder as most of the mainstream media are one-percenters themselves.

"Everybody talks about this $1.3 billion deficit,” state Rep. David Brumbaugh ® said, before invoking a saying he attributed to a friend: "If we take care of the morality, God will take care of the economy.”

What does this guy think he was elected to do? It is his job to take care of the OK economy. Is he delegating to God?

Rep. David Brumbaugh ® said, before invoking a saying he attributed to a friend: "If we take care of the morality, God will take care of the economy.” So this guy is not only an idiot, but he hasn’t the dubious courage of his ‘convictions’ to say this straight out, rather attributing it to “a friend”. Whatever’s the matter with Kansas is apparently transmissible across state lines.

Maybe they can use that pile of pachyderm poop to fertilize their backyard gardens when they’re driven to subsistence farming. I’ve heard tell it’s great stuff.

Has anyone in the GOP noticed that the man who criticizes its party and its leaders the most is also their nominee for President? I guess not.

“I’ve heard almost every argument today about judicial challenge to this legislation and after much prayer and study, I ask myself this question,” state Rep. David Brumbaugh (R) said during a floor debate on the bill last month. “Do we make laws because they’re moral and right, or do we make them based on what an unelected judicial occupant might question or overturn?”

In the time-honored American practice, we make laws according to our U.S. Constitution. Asshat.

Of course she will sign it to prove that she’s the high priestess of the Cult of the Fetus. But like every other Republican, once little Freddy or Freida Fetus pass thru the birth canal she will look the other way if the child is sick, malnourished, beaten, molested or dies.

100 years ago the state with the most powerful Socialist Party was Oklahoma. But add in 100 years of Right Wing Je$u$ and POOF!

Yes, and of course the Socialists were strong in Kansas as well in those days.

Tim Kaine may be right; conservatives want to weaken the judiciary. Here, David Brumbaugh asks why even bother to have judges?

Republicans are moral by definition, as, since they pray a lot, the actions of legislators will always be right and proper.

Except for that slavery thing.

I’ve been a lawyer for a lot of years. I cannot think of a more obviously unconstitutional law.

Who cares whether she signs it or not? As Curmudgeon surmised, this “law” won’t last 30 seconds in a federal courthouse.
