Outcry Over Protest Bill

Today's Tennessean has an article by Trent Seibert which covers the outcry caused by the protest bill I discussed yesterday.

The following line jumped out at me...

Sen. Mark Norris, R-Collierville, another key figure behind the measure, said he did not believe the General Assembly's leaders would abuse the power given to them under the law.

Oh yeah...government would never abuse power given to them under vague laws (note heavy sarcasm). Never trust the government to avoid the abuse a power that it has been given.

How about you just create laws that aren't vague and we won't have to worry about that ever happening.

Governments should be afraid of their people. And it looks as though they are...wheel chaired people.
