It looks like Governor Perry has brought back the TSA groping bill that died last month in the Texas legislature. I'd like to get all gung-ho over this, but it's hard. Does anyone think it'd be more than symbolistic should it pass? The Feds will just say "TSA trumps state law" and will ignore Texas law. Texas will eventually balk.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Perry has brought it back up in the legislature. This is an important issue which needs to stay in the forefront. It's also a huge state sovereignty issue, but I'm simply not optimistic. It seems anytime the states tell the Feds to "fuck off" these days there's little or no teeth behind the threat.
Also, I can't help but get a kick out of all the liberals at the Huffpo link defending the TSA. It's not a surprise really. If there's a tool that will control the populace liberals will always support it, especially if it makes them "feel safe." Liberals, by and large, do not really respect any Constitutional rights in this country (save maybe abortion rights)
