Then it is simply up to the good folks on Lake Jordan to coordinate their fight. They are up to bat. This is what makes this country great! Don't like legislation that has been appealed and ultimately found to be constitutional - vote them out. Having some experience in the Ga legislative process, the addition of "more stuff" is a heck of alot harder to do than is intimated in this and other related threads. Legislators like to hold onto their political capital to use when it can be of most benefit. It doesn't get spent easily and I feel that the effort to expand both the breadth and dimension of this particular law would leave some cupboards a little bare.

My question to Steve and his group that has appealed this law, is what groups of individuals were not equally protected? I believe we all know the answer, and this cuts to the core of my concern about public lobbying for contributions to support a business interest under the guise of "we're all in this together". That would be like me asking for help in my legal pursuit of equitable BC/BS reimbursement under the umbrella of ultimately lower premiums for all those insured. Not that I would not contribute to his cause, but selfishly I must ask "what's in it for me".
