Right-wing Georgia politicians are seeking a special session in an attempt to override Republican Gov. Nathan Deal's veto of a controversial antigay "religious freedom" bill today.

Only minutes after Deal announced the veto in a press conference, Republican State Sen. Mike Crane called for the special session , reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Crane, currently running for Congress, released a statement on his website,  saying, "Our government needs committed conservatives who never stop fighting to protect the constitution."

Guess it's not over in Georgia yet. What I don't get is how denying anyone protection under the law is protecting the Constitution????????????
