More On Virginia House Bill No. 67

Concerning the original post on Virginia House Bill No. 67, Mack sends this.
My analysis, brief though it may be, is that concerns about this bill are misplaced.Lee Carted prefiled HB67 before the Sanctuary Movement really began (with the ‘We will not comply’ defiance).Carter is a Progressive and a Labor activist. He’s part of the movement to repeal our great Right-to-work law.It’s really been the VA FOP that’s been pushing this idea that’s it’s about cops.Carter is spending a whole lot of time on his twitter feed on this:Highlights:His twitter:
I asked for alternate interpretations of the bill, and this is one. I find it an odd one, and beyond that, my first inclination is not to trust a collectivist.
Reading his Twitter posts carefully, he had an original proposed bill that read differently, and I located this. Based on other Twitter posts, he makes the claim that he amended his bill because the republicans objected that his bill leaves the police able to go on strike.
So we are to believe that he wanted republican help with this bill when it’s not likely that a republican in Virginia would have ever voted for the bill in either its original or amended form. Furthermore, he doesn’t need republican help in a democrat-controlled legislature.
But let’s assume for a moment that he’s telling the truth. Go back and read his amended bill in light of his claims and tell me if the bill makes any sense at all.
It doesn’t to me. I’ve read and interpreted state laws and the federal code for 38 years, and it reads like a chop job by someone in a hurry, leaving the final section (40.1-58.1) to muddle the issue. With that last section, the proposed bill even seems to roll back in every other state employee as forbidden from striking. I see no reason at all for this last section to be in the regulation given the other changes he’s made.
At any rate, you now have a different interpretation. I find it dubious. I’ve never seen such a mixed up regulation before. The author is obviously an idiot, or he didn’t get a lawyer’s help with it. Or perhaps both.

Nobody cared about RICO laws either and now the cops sit on the side of the road and take any property whatsoever that will enrich the State. The Apostle Matthew was condemn as a Sinner for this very reason. You’re country is dead, the Law is what the State is willing to take and kill and destroy over. All of those pieces of paper mean nothing.

You’ve never read LeRoy’s ‘Gestapo’ have you? The German police were turned from a law enforcement institution into a secret police force with just such laws; internal Loyalty Oaths, Secrecy Oaths, No Strike Oaths, the good cops moved on and were replaced by sociopaths. Edicts that ‘traitors’ would be garroted and their entire family sent to a ‘camp’ quickly followed. By 1936 the stage was set, dressed and the curtain opening. Bloomberg’s wet dream is no different.
