How this bill got passed through to the senate in its previous form is utterly baffling. Did no one doing any reading or critical thinking?
The author said it didn't allow child marriage because people below the age of majority can't enter into contracts. He's said it even as it's been amended to outlaw child marriage.

It didn't. crimson is wrong. It passed through the committee process that has made the amendments. It hasn't gotten to a senate vote yet.

The problem is that you aren't dunking on Republicans. You're dunking on imaginary people who don't exist and then celebrating amongst yourselves, and then trying to ignore me when I point out the basketball game is on an entirely different court.

The Tennessee GOP had to rewrite an entire bill through amendments because they passed an unconstitutional common law marriage bill through committee that would've allowed child marriage.

You don't get points for being stopped by other people.

So sometimes you realise something and it makes your stomach churn

Me in this thread: This is a mistake made by people who didn't bother doing anything. I.e. They are incompetent compared to a normal GOP politician

Tstorm in this thread: No, that's just how these things normally go. I.e. expect this level of performance out of all GOP politicians

I have more faith in the GOP politicians than what tstorm does

This is not how I thought this thread was going to go

Look, I'm still disappointed that allowing gay marriage in Australia *still* hasn't resulted in anyone marrying a bridge like the ACL said it would.
Clearly, someone needs to push for legalizing prostitution first, so that when someone marries a bridge they can charge people to use "her".

They amended it in committee. It was entirely rewritten before leaving committee. Crimson posted literally this screenshot:

How do you people keep getting this so wrong?

This is not a standard for just GOP politicians. This is how humans operate. First drafts make mistakes, such is part of the human condition.

Yes I did post that it made it out of the judiciary committee about 2 weeks before they amended it, what of it?

Has anyone identified as a helicopter yet? I'm finding this lack of gender anarchy quite disappointing. Conservatives promised me satanic shenanery, but all I've seen so far are just regular ol' boring trans people.

Eh, lots of people fairly quickly decided gay marriage wasn't a thing they were fighting against once it was clear they lost. Never mind gay marriage, lets talk about...um...crocodile attacks, they are the real issue.
