Something about this really rubs me the wrong way. Our congress doesn't "give" us rights to do anything. This bill will be full of caveats and will probably be drafted with John Deere lobbyist in the same room.
Court challenges are much more effective at re-establishing individual rights. They're more applicable and usually more broad, especially if you can get a SCOTUS ruling. This law will likely delay a favorable court ruling.
- babypuncher 5y agoCourts can only interpret the laws defined by Congress. There is little they can do if the problem entity X has with entity Y is perfectly legal under the current legal code. Most democratic systems are built this way on purpose, to ensure no one branch of government has too much power. We don't necessarily want the branch in charge of interpreting the law to also be given the ability to write it.
