The debate about this bill has been going on for a while now.

Riana Pfefferkorn of CIS did a lot better job objectively addressing the issues (sans the overt political cheap shots) in her article. It lays out why it may be unconstitutional on several grounds. I'd recommend reading it if you want more detail on the bill:

Thank you for posting that link. That post was far more informative and, as you mentioned, avoided "cheap shots". This subject is best discussed without politically partisan language; all of us are affected, regardless of how or even whether we vote. Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing this. Very good and much more helpful and less tendentious than the main link above.
