I’ll be the first to say don’t let perfect get in the way of good, but God damn. We knew this legislation was a problem since the moment it was proposed. Even before that we wrote legislation that exluded it, on purpose, and it only came about through fucking weasel words and what not.
Why has it taken this long to produce this, and why does it have to take effect after midterms?
How do you figure that? The GOP controlls everything right now. It would just get declared unconstitutional instantly.
I don’t know how after the midterms would be better, but maybe they have a plan.
Though really, it’s probably just that they can campaign on it better if it hasn’t been declared unconstitutional yet. I should stop letting myself believe they might be trying to accomplish something positive.

Because most politicians are corporatists regardless of party.
Maybe they are hoping that after midterms, there will be a shift in power that might somehow (I have no idea how) allow this law to stand.
They could guarantee it by making it effective now
