Audio: Senators Yuck it Up Over Bill's Passage

So, how much discussion took place when the draconian bill that would allow protestors to be removed from the streets and sidewalks was passed? The only discussion that takes place are a couple of jokes by Senators Norris and Burchett. Norris said there was concern that they might have to purchase uniforms for Naifeh and Wilder, and Burchett wanted to know of both speakers were allowed "one bullet" (an obvious Barney Fife reference). Senator Burks also added that she saw a few people crying when they were blocked in by the ADAPT protestors and she thought the bill was a good idea.

There were no concerns voiced over the bill's vagueness and creation of a potential open door for abuse.
