In other words, Rubio’s motion is only a repeat of a law already on the books?
Yet another reason that EVERY law should have a sunset clause. If it isn’t reviewed and re-authorized, it becomes null and void.
I think 5 years or so is a reasonable length of time for the effective period of any and every law. If it is effective, there should be no problem with re-authorization.
Constitutional Amendment, anyone?
Think about it: every lawmaker would be so busy reviewing old laws that they wouldn’t have time to think up new ways to infringe on our rights!
“In other words, Rubio’s motion is only a repeat of a law already on the books?”
No, while it is true that everyone is ignoring the law already on the books.
And it is true that politicians repeatedly try to sell us on solving problems that are already solved and passing laws that duplicate laws already existing,
Rubio’s law is designed to EXPAND ON the existing law and strengthen it.
Among other things, Rubio’s law would empower State governments and local governments to refuse to do business with companies participating in the BDS boycott of Israel.
