65. republicans sure know how to make it tough on themselves

Governor Scott will see plenty of 72-point headlines about him totally ceding a states rights issue to the federal government.

That's great! RW-knickers will be in such a knot.

Thanks for that, Disgustipated. I had no idea that they factored that in, but when you think about it, if it survived a SC ruling, is it any surprised that they thought this eventuality through, too?

I don't like this law--it's useless for me personally--but I am loving the Bitter Pill Swallowing theatrics.
