Religious freedom laws? Aren't they all in jesusland

It wasn't too long ago that lawmakers in Mississippi would invoke verse and scripture to justify discrimination.

"The good Lord was the original segregationist,"proclaimed Ross Barnett, Mississippi's governor, in the early 1960s. "He made the white man white and the black man black, and he did not intend for them to mix.''


For much of the past century, that's the way it was in Mississippi, whose history is stained by civil rights-era prejudice and violence. From the lynching of Emmett Till to riots over desegregation at Ole Miss.

Well it ain't just Mississippi.... just a week ago in Tennessee, this bill actually came to the Governor's desk:

>> Gov. Bill Haslam vetoed the controversial bill Thursday that would have made the Holy Bible the official state book of Tennessee.

Haslam cited an opinion issued in 2015 by Attorney General Herbert Slatery that said the bill could violate the state and federal constitutions.

... Had Haslam signed the bill, Tennessee would have become the first state in the nation to make the Holy Bible its official state book. The veto was just Haslam's fourth in his five years as governor. None of his other three vetoes were overturned.

Although Haslam officially had until Tuesday to make a decision on the bill, earlier this week he indicated he would make an announcement before then. The legislature still has time to overturn the veto. Tennessee's governor has relatively weak veto power: It takes only a simple majority in both chambers to overrule the governor's decision.

...
Sen. Steve Southerland, R-Morristown, and the Senate sponsor of the bill, sent a letter to the Senate clerk on Thursday afternoon stating that he intends to push for a veto override on Monday or Tuesday.

House sponsor Rep. Jerry Sexton, R-Bean Station, said polls show Tennesseans favor making the Bible the official state book. "Sen. Southerland and I are prepared to move forward with a veto override and we plan to do exactly that," Sexton said in a statement through a spokesman. --- The Tennesseean

Guno, you neglected to add that Gov. Ross Barnett was also a Democrat. ..... :cool:
yes 50 years ago in the south people were dixicrats, strange how they changed party's with the southern strategy



Also strange how at the 1948 democratic convention the southern Dixiecrat crackers were denied seats at the convention, now tune into the modern day party's conventions republican convention = old pasty face white on rice crackers. Democratic convention= diversity all colors and cultures , gee imagine that
