Here they come
This is that time in the cycle (short session in a federal election year) when people run bills through the General Assembly for purely political purposes. Case in point: Sen. Robert Pittenger, who is running for Lt. Governor, has introduced the NC Citizen Protection Act. It includes about everything you’d think, most of which have already been ruled unconstitutional. I think a more accurate title might be the Permanent Exploited Underclass Act. It would probably criminalize most churches.
But it’s a big bill and in some venue there’ll be a discussion and the senator will have his campaign ad that talks about how he’s protecting us from the hordes.
Stand by for more heroics.
