Michigan Theocracy

Thus, the title of this thread might be Michigan Theocracy Losing its Grip on State.

... that would be the exact opposite of reality though. These bills are RIGHT NOW on the table and the authors of them are first term reps. Our "moderate" "business guy" governor just signed legislation that allows agencies funded by the state to directly discriminate against gays, muslims, jews, single people, and atheists...basically anyone that runs afoul of the beliefs of the faith based charity receiving compensation from the state for adoption services.

The governor should have veto'd such clearly unconstitutional legislation and said, hey, if you want to have those rules, then you can't get state money. If you want state money you need to serve ALL the citizens of the state. But he didn't because he knows the far right nutters will have a temper tantrum and they control the legislature. Now it'll be another few million in state money wasted in a futile effort to defend this stupid christianist sharia legislation.

The tide, if it's moving at all, is only doing so because the Courts are being forced to step in.
