Except I recall him endorsing the stoning to death of gay people as “God’s perfect law.”

It reads like a bad joke but this is what people vote for.

I’m sure it sounded like a good idea to attach a bunch of serious penalties to the law, but college kids do a lot of dumb stuff and this now opens them up to civil (and criminal) RICO lawsuits.
“Your campus group tricked me into coming here with plans to retaliate when I left” is serious fucking stuff with a law like this.

1a and 14a. I guess not all state reps or senators can afford to or bother to be constitutional scholars like federal rep Jamie Raskin and have to advance patently unconstitutional legislation when feelings-exploitative influencers come calling.
