Hello, S. 978. It's always nice to meet a new bill that either (a) isn't going to go anywhere, or ( will be struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Let's you and I be buddies while you're alive because Lord knows it won't be too long =)

Cheers!

Ah yes, I've heard all about it jouring the weekend. I was planning to make a topic about it, but it seems you've beat me to the punch.

I'll edit my post later to express how I feel about this bill in greater detail. This is grim news indeed.
