37. That was fast. He's not gonna "stand up for his principles"?

Boycotts DO work. Sometimes it takes awhile, but in a capitalistic country where money is worshiped, that is the tool to use to make them act while the litigation winds its way through the courts.

These GOP governors and/or legislatures are incrementally trying to see how far they can go before the courts take them down, and with the SCOTUS the way it is, they have been able to go pretty far.
