The “Monsanto Protection Act”, and why you were duped

[a2liberal]

94. I actually read the section

not just googled the hell out of it. It doesn't do what you say. Here's my plain English rewording:

If a court overturns the Sec of Ag's determination that a plant is not subject to controls, the Sec. Ag. shall immediately provide a permit with some reasonable environmental restrictions, not waiting for a review period as there normally would be.

Sounds innocuous, but the net effect is to nullify the court's ruling by requiring an immediate permit before it goes through the regular review process. It's an incredibly disturbing precedent to restricting the power of the courts to protect the people. There is nothing (in section 735, haven't read the entire appropriations bill) about protecting farmers from Monsanto seed invasion.

But you just go on ahead and keep painting those that oppose it as unreasonable and unthoughtful and pretending that they haven't read what they're opposed to if that makes you feel better about throwing progressives under the bus.

Since I had a heck of a time finding the text, here's the wikipedia article with the text for anyone interested:
