M'yes, that does seem to happen from time to time....

Lieber .. defends her credentials to carry such legislation on the grounds that lawmakers often carry bills on topics about which they know little or nothing

"I don't know anything about this bill, but it feels good."

What a moron.

I'm thinking that the government should take children at birth and raise them as they see fit. And I don't think it would be too much to ask to allow the parents some form of visitation rights. /s

I heard this lame legislator on the radio. She was incredibly vague on what the anticipated impact of her feel-good law would actually be. It was all "I don't know" and "I would hope judges would use common sense in applying it" and "those penalties would only happen if there were repeated incidents". Then she would try to justify it with some child abuse horror story, as if that were not illegal already.

Whereas Lieber acknowledges that she has never had children of her own

Well, according to liberal logic, she has no right to even an opinion on disciplining children if she has no children of her own.

After all, it is the liberals, the Dims, who tell us that if you have not served in the military, you cannot have an opinion on military operations.
