It's highly misleading to call a bill that was introduced a couple of days ago by one Assembly member "California's new bill". Bills aren't laws and most bills go nowhere.
- 0x457 8mo agoWell, it's a new bill. What is misleading about it? Is there a special term for "a bill that was introduced a couple of days ago by one Assembly member" ?
- jf 8mo agoIt has no cosponsors and hasn’t been presented to a committee yet. It’s like calling a bowl of flour, water, and yeast a “new bread”
- kube-system 8mo agoBill is to law as dough is to bread.
- bdcravens 8mo agoWouldn't the process of following the due process before it can be voted upon essentially the same of combining ingredients to make dough?
- kube-system 8mo agoI don't know but a loaf of bread is a completed product and a bill certainly isn't. Beyond that the analogy probably isn't very helpful.
- jibal 8mo agoIt's like calling "a bill recently introduced by Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan" ... "California's new bill". It's not California's anything, and won't be unless/until it becomes part of California's legal code.
- jibal 8mo agoObviously, it's not "California's" anything, and won't be until/unless it becomes part of California's legal code.
- platevoltage 8mo agoThe type of bad bills that DO go somewhere are the ones that the public doesn't hear about until it's too late. I don't know why this being reported on is a bad thing.
- jibal 8mo agoI don't know why people attack strawmen that no one said. (Well, actually, I do know.)
