No, this is a state law. I think Republicans prefer state rights being stronger over federal ones.

Not that I agree with them.
Federal Law is supposed to be higher then state law so says the supreme court
 
I know, ever since the time of the Marshall court.
 
States shouldn't be allowed to make laws that go against federal laws this is a nation where we have a centeral body that controls things and stops the states from doing stupid shit we are a nation not an alliance of individual countries
 
Hopefully, this bill won't gather enough supporters for it to pass.

Look, the Confederate states tried to use a state-powered government with a weak central government. I wonder how that turned out.

If only the ERA amendment can pass... we won't have these loony sexist proposals.

And look how successful the Articles of Confederation was too!

Lol the Constitution signed by John Adams says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." then in 1798 these laws passed pay close attention to the sedition act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts#Acts
 
Adams didn't sign it. He was not a delegate to the convention. John Quincy did, though.

Fair enough but my point is that the Constitution is only enforced when it helps your side (or if it's election year)
 
^^Not to mention, Adams is actually a complicated person who's easily offended.

On-topic, however, I don't want to dislike Republicans in general, but why do people associated with the Republicans always pass crazy bills?

Because the Republican party repersents Christian values as a political move
