Yes, this article is very misleading. It's a *resolution*, people, expressing an *opinion*. It doesn't "criminalize" anything; there is no penalty clause, it doesn't become a law even if it passes.

It's a fine thing to be vigilant over the crazy people in Washington, but let's "cry wolf" over things that aren't a real threat ... yet.

“, it doesn’t become a law even if it passes.”

But we know liberals will eventually make it law. They always signal their intentions with “resolutions”.

Thanks to you all for your input

Someone want to explain to Mr. Spencer the difference between a resolution and a bill?
This is H.R. 569
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/569/text

This is H.Res 569
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/569/text

and

It’s a *resolution*, people, expressing an *opinion*. It doesn’t “criminalize” anything; there is no penalty clause, it doesn’t become a law even if it passes.
