Publicola is noting that Rep Rhonda Fields (D-Nowhere) has carried through the House a bill to banish cyber bullying. Think about that for a second. Cyber bullying means saying something electronically that someone, somewhere finds offensive.
Now go read the First Amendment. Better yet, read the free speech clause in our own state constitution.
Publicola mocks Rep Fields by impugning her intellect, her comprehension skills and her sartorial abilities. I've seen her in action. Publicola is being kind. I witnessed this woman carrying the infamous magazine limitations bill in front of the most powerful committee in the Senate and 500+ angry constituents* unable to find or even remember the existence of one paragraph in a bill that at the time ran only 2 pages, double spaced and single sided with $85M/year in Colorado jobs at stake. It was painfully obvious that she hadn't read the thing prior to the hearing and her floundering efforts to find the paragraph in question raised doubts about her actual literacy.
That said, we'll probably both be candidates for interment in the secret underground prison under DIA** if this thing passes. Ping your Senator.
*The actual count of angry constituents present that day was probably closer to 2000 but the Supreme Court Room can only hold so many.
**One of the more elaborate conspiracy theories out there. Google it yourself.
