Anyone actually have any FACTS on this one? Thanks.
On its face, I beleive this to be a credible link as to the contents of the bill: http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/107/Bill/HB0300.pdf

"the bill was written by a democrat. The only 8 votes against this bill were from republicans. Youre complaining about a guy who is the GOVERNOR who DIDNT WRITE OR PASS THE LAW."
Is this true? Does anyone know who actually wrote this thing? Did the governor have to sign this as it was veto proof? Is this an attempt by liberal bloggers and opinion rags to blame someone else for what was done by their own?
Form a First Amendment/Freedom of Speech perspective, I don't care who is politicizing this. That's not the point worthy of discussion here, IMO, unless one solely wants to complain and throw mud about R's and D's; and/or so-called conservatives and liberals.
What is worthy of discussion here, IMO, is: the constitutionality of the law; if the law is constitutional, whether it will have a 'chilling effect", and/or if it is constitutional, whether it can be applied to those who otherwise have no connection with Tennessee.
