Michigan Is Too Busy Trying to Outlaw Anal Sex to Address Toxic Flint Water

[cali]

Seeing as Flint is an issue in the primary, and that today Hillary rightly said that what is happening there is immoral, thought I'd post this piece illustrating precisely what repuke morals and values look like.


Who has time for water that cannot pass a quality test when you can legislate the love that dare not speak its name?

The Michigan Senate recently passed a bill that outlawed sodomy, traditionally defined in legalese as either oral or anal sex. If the bill passes the Michigan House, sodomy could be punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The ban was attached to an anti-bestiality bill, part of a package of bills called "Logan's Law" the state Senate is looking to pass to protect pets from abusive owners. By adding the words "with mankind" to a clause outlawing bestiality it not only outlawed sodomy and bestiality, but equated the two.

Michigan joins about a dozen other states that have sodomy bans on their books, even though the Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional in a 6-3 vote in the 2003 Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas. That case started with the 1998 arrest of two gay men who were having consensual sex in their private apartment; the case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court.

1. Could use it to lock up the Governor and Legislature for 15 years.

They've been fucking the people of Michigan in the ass for years now.

2. Does the federal government have power to force Snyder to resign?

Normally I wouldn't call for this kind of action, but there is clear evidence Snyder knew about this and did nothing. He literally poisoned people and caused irreconcilable damage. He should be thrown in jail, and I don't think I'm being partisan in saying so.

8. They could prosecute him

If they found his actions rose to the level of a crime.

He wouldn't technically have to resign, but he probably would.

3. Have relatives up there near Ionia and Sherman.

Have always thought they were a little far out in right field with their thinking and would sometimes jokingly think it must be something in the water. Hmmmmm Maybe that is not so far off the mark. The whole anti-anal is going to come back to bite them on the butt. Nowadays, males are discovering the pleasurable side of their butts. Has anyone tested the water in Lansing?

4. The party of "small government."

5. Jesus what a fucking stupid waste of legislative time

I guess they can't get a beej under their desks anymore.

6. Wow, how long before Michigan can vote these idiots out of a job?

This is beyond horrific. This is plain homophobic and a rear-guard fight too, just an attempt to obstruct the justice the Supreme Court gave to gay couples last year.

7. Horrific and blatantly and defiantly unconstitutional

9. I hereby call for anal sex civil disobedience
