    It is pointless legislation that should be struck down swiftly.

    But what needs to happen is criminal penalties attached to those lawmakers - felonies specifically, for passing laws that are directly violating our God given rights.

    Don't know if something violates the law? Get a panel of judges to ratify it first. Sort of like a pre-case law kind of thing.

    I know this is murky water, because judges aren't supposed to write laws. But they seem to strike them down a lot. Maybe consulting them is wise when making them.

    This.

    Exactly this. I don't like Nazis, or Democrats, Republicans either. But they should all be allowed to speak, so that the public might be able to discern insanity from coherent thought... And then vote libertarian...or green...or not at all if that suits their fancy.

    "Dry, legalistic retort"? Are you suggesting that the 14 Amendment to the Constitution should be ignored or forgotten in this instance?

    Then you monitor the behavior and curb the abuses as they occur. The alternative is to have states and local governments which treat their citizens as less than full citizens at their whim.

    That strikes me as being a bad idea for a number of reasons. I think a better one would be to simply make it widely known and very clear that these "public servants" had knowingly and on the taxpayer's dime made a law that they knew had no chance of standing...and that they did so solely to pander and show off to a segment of their constituency. Then offer the voters an alternative at election time, with a pledge not to engage in that sort of populist nonsense.

    I'd be opposed to having that be a formal or dictated process, as a violation of the separation of powers, but it is certainly a good idea for a legislator - particularly one who has little or no training in the law - to get some legal opinions on a measure before wasting the taxpayer's money in attempting to make it a law. Unfortunately, many simply don't care.
