The Civil Rights act is federal and it already sets what qualifies as discrimination, so this wouldn't be legal I don't think
Uh I don't know if our fed has any teeth to stop it though
Supreme Court in 2024: In fact, the Civil Rights act is very bad and very illegal.
It'll be like any other unconstitutional law. It passes, goes into effect for a couple years, some noble people bring it to court and it's struck down, then a couple months later the legislature passes a similar law and the process must be repeated. "Rule of law"!

Kentucky has apparently created a new bill, House Bill 470, that is basically "All of the anti-trans bills in 2023 in one bill." Birth cert bans, gender affirming care bans, name change bans, forced outing, targets insurance coverage.... It has everything.
Meanwhile Biden's playing springtime for Bandera.
why would biden try to save the fascists at home when they're doing fine? of course he's gonna help the fascists abroad, they're the ones in danger.
RPK controls 80% of both houses after the gerrymander they implemented last cycle. This thing is gonna pass and Beshear's veto means nothing.
Democrats apparent complete inability to address jerrymandering seem so suicidal.
KDP had power for a solid 90 years, with a trifecta for most of that. Hell, they didn't lose the state house until 2016. Then the Republicans they loved working with completely shut them out the instant they got power.
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
:yea:
Don't worry. Next election the Dems will find an even more right-wing candidate compared to the former republican they ran in 2022
God I’m still furious about that.
He was literally the least qualified person for the job. Like, by definition no one else on earth besides Rick Scott and Jeb Bush, are less qualified. Every person on this site, including the ones that don’t live in the US, is more qualified than Charlie Crist to be governor of Florida. Because everyone else on earth it isn’t a known fact of reality they’d be a terrible governor of Florida, just likely. Charlie Crist is known to be bad at that job, because he already did it and sucked!
somebody sure is, but it ain’t gonna be us.

If these satanists love landlords so much, send them to live in the land. There's plenty of rocks to hide under!
Is that what it's called!? And these people claim they follow a benevolent God?!
I'm surrounded by savages and I can't wait to GTFO this shithole.
Is that what it’s called!?
no, "Empower Bigots Act" was editorializing on her part.
Here's the bill with its actual title: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/991
And these people claim they follow a benevolent God?!
The trick is to prescribe humans a nonexistent 'essence' and then fault them all for being different from how they 'should' be
That way their god gets to be benevolent only toward nonexistent people. Toward real people, that benevolence means 'punishing them out of love'
Ultimately, improving material conditions for people is the solution. Christianity has never exactly been good, but the US and its goals have made it what it is today. An Evangelical who just loses their faith without building critical thinking skills won't have changed much at all
Evangelicals are moral nihilists, so flipping their Atheism switch per se only lets them be self-aware moral nihilists. On the bright side, it can make them less tedious to deal with by cutting down on reflexive, "I'm not actually a bad person!" disclaimers that they package with their bigotry
huh, that's alarming. our rapid descent into fascism appears to be growing more rapid by the second.
"a defendant cannot prove the truth of an allegation of discrimination by citing a plaintiffs constitutionally protected religious expression or beliefs"
Respectfully, I believe that heterosexual people of Northwest Eurasian origin should be rocketed into the sun
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding on what's for dinner.
Eighty cybernetic wolves and several thousand foxes against tens of thousands of muzzled, blindfolded, and crippled sheep.
Yankee freedom death drive vs Yankee desire to out do the terf island
The cartoonish character of the evil dine by fascist America makes it seem less serious and makes you feel silly for even talking about it but it doesn't make it any less evil.
It's a trap to think they're not absolutely deadly serious. Remember the Sartre quote; They don't believe in words, and that gives them space to play.
I'm envious of CHUDs. They're the king but they also have jester's privilege.
Cannot prove the truth of an allegation of discrimination by citing scientific beliefs? We have legal protections for phrenology now?
What's hilarious is these guys it's supposed to be protecting are so brazen and stupid that they'll literally just yell "I'm discriminating against you because of your race and/or gender" so I don't think this law will even be enough, but it does get the point across.
DeSantis is slightly more clever about it though so I guess the intent might be just for him actually.
This part is really cool too:
770.13 Actual malice for public figures in defamation
161 cases.-A public figure does not need to show actual malice to
162 prevail in a defamation cause of action when the allegation does
163 not relate to the reason for his or her public status.So a public figure, like DeSantis, doesn't have to show that someone defaming him was doing it on purpose or maliciously. But
When the allegation does not relate to the reason for his or her public status.
sounds to me like a cool exception for letting people say Biden stole the election.
I love how the bill is so far-reaching the libs in the replies literally can't believe it and insist she's wrong lol
They probably believe there's a 100% chance the SCOTUS will reject it, too.
Never mind that even if htey do decide it's a little toooooo unconstitutional even for Crying Bart it'll still ruin people's lives til someone gets an injuciton.
I suspect that (much like abortion) this is yet another attempt by the hogs to get it ultimately challenged in the Supreme Court as a direct attack on the first amendment.
Honestly there's nothing I wouldn't put past the current SCOTUS. They're trigger happy to revoke as many constitutional rights/protections as they possible can.
This shit is going to backfire so hard :antelope-popcorn:
Its not, though. That's the really nasty bit. Texas has been passing bullshit laws like this for decades. All that comes of it is the worst fucking person you know smugly issuing an office memo notifying HR to break out the Gay Bashing Stick, cause its legal again.
The US legal system was already comically stacked against anyone brazen enough to file discrimination claims. This is just sharpening the knife.
don't forget that American judges are, by and large, completely amoral bastards
The single biggest hole in the "Jews control all the institutions to take away white people's dominaton" is that both the cops and the courts, by and large, are on the CHUDs side. Media too, if we're being honest. CHUDs constantly are told how brave they are for being open nazis, but even saying "we should tolerate racial minorities" is seen as unthinkable.
the problem is that more people aren't sending judges to heaven
Amoral is far too generous. A lot of them are fascist bigots who have contempt for poor people, minorities, etc. They're just cops in robes.
