On another thread, Eric asked why I was afraid of the Left when in power and I think this statement from the article illustrates it:
[he signed it] even while admitting the new edict might clash with the First Amendment and be struck down as unconstitutional.
So he is willing to sign something he admits violates individual civil rights that will impose financial penalties and consequences on anyone who violates it and force them to undertake further financial costs simply to fight for the rights he, himself, admits they have. This is the type of illiberal policy being put forth that appalls me regardless of which side it comes from. It is the spirit of our current age that has it coming from the left more than the right.
