Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Headline makes this look like a law was passed. It passed committee and is going to the floor for a vote. And then the Senate. And then the governor's desk. This is far from being a done deal.
9 of 10, or more, outrageous headlines are like this around here. Yet I would wager every one of you thinks a law was passed from reading the headline.
The point is to show the disgusting behavior of Republican politicians, that they would even THINK of proposing such horrible laws, while prancing around pretending to be good Christians and "protecting" the people
Given the makeup of the Legislature and who our current Governor is this is pretty much a done deal.
On a party line vote, this is a done deal. You haven't been paying attention to Louisiana politics, I take it? They're in a phase right now of revenge passing whatever right wing bills they can because, for the first time in 8 years, we have a republican governor who won't stop them.
Why the fuck are they even trying to pass it though? Shouldn't they be working on something to help people? How is this kind of law benefiting anyone but the employers?
Just curious: what do you think of this law?
