True, but in a democracy you get the government you vote for.

True, but in a democracy you get the government you vote for.

Also true, which is why it's failed. Also if I were in the depths of hell (CT), I'd be voting with my feet.

My head is spinning with this bullshit lately. You anti a**h***s have pissed off the wrong crowd. Prepare for a real fight not a book dissusuion pansy fight.

Imagine the outrage if the people who wanted this bill were forced to pay the extra few hundred thousand for the increased staff to process the applications, or the extra $25million for estimated costs of incarcerating these "new criminals". You'd see support for this crap dry up very quickly.

Or the government some other slightly larger group of a**h***s vote for ..... remind me again how being a constitutional republic has saved us from the tyranny of majority that happens in a true democracy?....

The real travesty are the last few sentences. They are going to need an additional $25 million to lock people up in prison who were not criminals the day before the law was enacted. That my friends, is a fascism.
