1. I wonder how TPP will stand up to this law… Because what TPP will do, is side step Irving law.

These people better wake up.

7. When TPP is passed,

American laws will not mean shit. Vietnam business men will be able to sue these idiots for all their money.
Think of that!

10. That is what I'm thinking-American law will take a back seat...

2. Sounds like that law would include

Mosaic Law too. Hell, I'm all for it. No more using Leviticus here.

4. +1

I guess the backwards idiots like to keep passing laws that will backfire on them. Sort of like the anti-gay marriage laws that ban even herero marriage.

3. Good luck with voting them out of office...

I think you'll find that truth in advertisement to the ignorant will trump your right to be informed. An informed public should show up, but don't hold your breath at the ballot box. There's plenty of time for officials (backed by lots of money) to get even more xenophobic.

5. In Amerika, it always comes down to $! If the opponents to the law can outspend the racists,

corporations, and misinformed billionaires, they can get their candidates elected. If they can't, it means that they are wrong! That's why we set it up this way, right?

6. Shaaria law to me

agrees with most extremist religious Right wing laws so basically they just voted in favor of Pro Choice laws. No more anti abortion in Texas. More pro women in Texas

8. Mayor wants some "Biblical law," I am sure.
