Consider Jury Nullification - Time to nullify lawsuits for... checking notes... "non-conforming haircuts"?

[ck4829]

Here's the latest in wacko Republican laws and proposals that need to be nullified in the jury box:

Arkansas Republicans have proposed a bill that would allow lawsuits against people who support transgender youth's social transitions, including by using their preferred name and pronouns or by giving them a gender nonconforming haircut.

H.B. 1668, the so-called "Vulnerable Youth Protection Act," would allow minors or their parents to sue anyone who even acknowledges a minor's gender identity, including "without limitation changes in clothing, pronouns, hairstyle, and name." Lawsuits are permitted up to 15 years after the alleged conduct, with damages of $10,000, or up to $10 million if they have received gender-affirming care.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas strongly denounced the social transition bill in a statement, asserting that it "fosters a climate of fear, where doctors, teachers, and even parents risk financial ruin simply for supporting transgender youth" and that it is "a blatant overreach of government power, attempting to control private decisions and to circumvent our constitutional rights, including free speech, religious exercise, due process and equal protection."

"These cases would be extremely unlikely to hold up in court, but the bill’s intent is to scare people into silence and deter them from providing respect, dignity, and care to LGBTQ youth," the group wrote. "The ACLU of Arkansas strongly opposes HB1668, a cruel and unconstitutional attack on transgender youth, their families, and medical professionals. This bill seeks to deter life-saving healthcare through baseless lawsuits, forcing transgender youth into unsafe conditions and increasing their risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide."

1. Not sure

I keep hearing that people who voted for Trump are angry at being duped.
But, then when I check out his approval numbers at rcp he is still at 48pct.
Leading me to believe that it is really wishful thinking.
