After uproar over so-called license to discriminate bills in several states, congressional Republicans are getting both support and condemnation for their effort to enact a national version.

The House version of the First Amendment Defense Act, which would protect individuals and institutions from government penalties for acting "in accordance with a religious belief or moral conviction" against same-sex marriage, is now up to 134 cosponsors, including 17 who came on just this week, MSNBC reports. The Senate version has 34 cosponsors, which amounts to nearly two-thirds of Republican members. Both were introduced in June, the House version by Rep. Raúl Labrador of Idaho, the Senate version by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, both Republicans.

I guess it ain't over yet. Time to get active if you have a Republican congressman and let him know in no uncertain terms  "this bill ain't right!" JMHO

Why do they remind me of petulant children who throw a temper tantrum when they don't get their way, then threaten to take their ball and go home.

Just take your damned balls already, go home and stay there.  The game is over anyway.

BTW, whom would Jesus have discriminated against?
