So. This is sickening. Absolutely sickening. Do everyone a favor, and sign the petition to make sure this man never practices law again. This is horrible. The article is here.
You know I really thought this was a joke or something from a satire site. Nope. It’s a thing, and you can read the ballot initiative on the CA Attorney General’s site (the original link published in the article is broken, but the one on the petition is correct). It’s really sickening so be forewarned. On a lighter note, someone else took advantage of the lenient initiative policy to propose a counter to the Sodomite Suppression Act—the OAG received it 3/25 and it’s called “The Intolerant Jackass Act” and it’s really hilarious.
However, it also goes to show that pretty much anything can get a ballot initiative in California (I mean, take a look at all the proposed initiatives on the oag site; some of these are just ridiculous). I don’t think we have to worry about the SSA actually becoming law , thank goodness. However, I am going to encourage anyone who wants to to sign the petition requesting the CA Bar Association to revoke McLaughlin’s license to practice law. Honestly, there’s no way the SSA would ever be considered constitutional and how the fuck do you become a lawyer and not understand that??
Also they need roughly 15,000 signatures to the petition, as of my posting this (not 350; where did you even get that number?).
