I'm not interested in assuaging the tender feelings of bigots. As it is, the language stays in the statute, and sits there ready to cause mischief at the whim of some overzealous county district attorney or state attorney general. Michigan is inviting its own version of Kim Davis to manifest and cause a lot of unnecessary misery for its citizens while the matter grinds its way through the courts.

Sen. Knezek has the power to fix this, but he turtled.
