Texas? Texas, USA? the land of the free... Are we going back on hunting witches?

  They never hunted witches in Texas. Brujas maybe, but they definitely hunted Indians.

    Mexicans/Mexican Americans as well. The history of the Texas rangers is pretty sordid.

  As much as many people here won't like it, the lesson here is that there need to be strict limits on what kind of laws government is allowed to impose, period. You can't have some system where the government gets to have broad powers on things you agree with, but somehow isn't allowed to make laws about things you don't like. The only solution is being very narrow about what government can tell you to do. Personally, this law appears so ridiculous that I think existing checks and balances will have no problem rendering it irrelevant, but it should still be a warning about what government thinks it can impose on people.

    That's usually what constitutions are for.
