House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”
Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.
The Delegate was elected by majority vote in a duly authorized and recognized election. One elects a son of a bitch,one gets a son of a bitch. Evidence barrack obama. The Nation is still recovering from the damage that the traitors and haters of America did by putting him in the White House for eight years. Garbage in garbage out. Shit in shit out. What do you expect?
Here’s the bill. It refers to making threats of bodily harm or to kill. I hardly think that is equivalent to taking away free speech.
