Good Legislation...
The State Senate unanimously passed SB 606 which will “prohibit disruptive conduct at funerals, memorial services, or funeral processions.”
This legislation, sponsored by Senator John Douglas (R-Covington), is targeting protests by anti-war groups at the funerals of fallen soldiers.

Phelps, No Phelps. Gays, No Gays. Demonstrations of any kind at funerals of our fallen war dead is disgusting. The men and women serving our country deserve our respect, not a press-whore’s moment in time.
The ultimate price paid by honorable people must beheld scared to everyone. Else they died in vain. I cannot accept that alternative.

Good legislation and the 55-0 vote was amazing. Even the liberals voted yes.
Douglas continues to impress me.
