You're surprised, right?  It was bound to happen.  Establishment republicans have determined the center of the political spectrum is where they need to be.  What better way to introduce the New and Improved Kinder and Gentler Republican party than to knife former allies.

What they are missing is such actions will coalesce actions to form a new party.  I can't think of a stupider (or more stupid) move.

Surprised ?  No. Republicans going to screw us.  Like asking if water is wet. 3rd party, not going to happen anytime soon on a national level. I just hope and pray that when the stupid laws get passed and enforcement is attempted, we all take a stand and collectively state "pound sand"

Lol, unintended consequence .

Especially if it's worded in such a way that res/non res doesn't matter. Utah turns into a CHL mill for people who want to maintain their ability to f2f?
