I don’t like to do nooze on the weekend, but if I don’t get this out of the way, it’ll fester.
A Florida state senator has proposed a bill to require bloggers who write about the governor, the attorney general, and other public officials… to register with the state or pay a fine (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/florida-bill-will-require-bloggers-who-write-about-governor-to-register-with-state/).
Whoa! Did I wake up in North Korea? Cuba? Or is State Senator Jason Brodeur just barking, screaming, head-does-a-360 mad? And he’s a Republican. We expect this kind of Stalinist horse manure from Democrats–but no, no, no! Not from Republicans.
Far Left Crazy must be licking its chops over this. “Ooooh, why didn’t we think of that! Quick! Set it up in every Blue state and every Blue city on the map!”
Really, you don’t expect the First Amendment to be attacked from this direction. I believe God Himself has granted me the right, from birth, to say or write anything I please about anyone occupying any public office. “Endowed by our Creator”–dig? “Inalienable rights”–which means you can’t take them away.
Somebody find this senator a civics class.
This absurdity wouldn’t last ten minutes in any federal court.
