Developing: California Pushes Bill That Appears To Ban Sale of Bibles
The Western Journal ^ | April 19, 2018 at 6:06pm | Randy DeSoto

Posted on 04/22/2018 9:46:40 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

A new California pro-LGBTQ bill that would ban the sale or distribution of materials related to “conversion therapy” easily passed the state’s assembly on Thursday.

CBS News affiliate KOVR reported the final tally was 50-14. Assembly Bill 2943 now heads to the Democrat-controlled Senate.

The bill would make it an unlawful business practice to engage in any “transaction intended to result or that results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer” aimed at “sexual orientation change efforts with an individual.”

Goods would include any books or written materials, while services would encompass counseling individuals seeking to address same-sex attractions.

According to the Los Angeles Times, “One key part of the debate centers on whether Assembly Bill 2943 would stretch beyond businesses that charge for (conversion) programs and extend to printed documents, even Bibles.”

Soon California will have “Book Burnings” where angry mobs will raid houses and stores and burn piles of Bibles, claiming that they are the a threat to freedom and prosperity.

California, becoming more fascist than Nazi Germany

All roads of corruption in federal and state governments lead to Congress imo.

In this example, although the states have given Congress the 14th Amendment power to make punitive laws to deal with state actors who abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech in this case, we're still stuck with a corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably not lift a finger to make such laws.



Also, consider that by making laws / policies that promote the constitutionally unprotected LGBT agenda, low-information state actors are unthinkingly effectively establishing politically correct LGBT people as a protected class imo. The major constitutional problem with doing so is that the Founding States made the Constitution's Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 partly to prohibit the states from establishing protected / privileged classes.

"Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphases added]."

The remedy …

Patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.

More specifically, patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, candidates who will be willing to make punitive laws to discourage abridgment of constitutionally enumerated rights by state actors.

Patriots must then pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day so that they can start making such laws.

And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud, associated MSM scare tactics, and interference from people like Soros.

I think it’s unconstitutional even if it doesn’t ban Bible sales.

I’m trying to remember where else pseudo science was used to justify an amoral political ideology. And to silence even imprison and kill people. It will come to me. For some reason I keep thinking “socialist” was involved in the national description. And not just once.

I think the government won’t allow a “church” to be tax exempt if they preach politics. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Sure. It's only NOT ALLOWED if they are a 'white' church. If they are a 'black' church, it's OK for them to preach politics, have political meetings, invite political guest speakers, etc.

If this stands, well, if it stands long enough to gheby the 9th Circus, I wonder if it will be quickly be followed by an outlawing of most guns in California and a statewide mandatory buyback or just a requirement that all the guns of whichthe states has a record of your purchase or ownership must be turned in or you don’t get or get to keep a driver’s license or anything else that comes from government.

Even excluding the possible ban on the sale bibles aspect of this, there’s no way that law is constitutional under the 1st amendment

Yes, of course it is not constitutional.

But remember the 9th Circus handles the appeals.

If that is the outcome, the citizens exiting CA will grow in numbers to the point of destroying the tax base. (I think it is already there)

This is all ComDem Insanity.

Agree. Unless it is technical stuff to make nukes or HE.

That is covered under other legal constraints.
