Note the vote total.
Footnote: Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is backing away from the T. rex of bathroom bills has fast as he can, using the McCrory defense:
"Shame on you for making me hit you!"

"Shame on you for making me hit you!"

These assholes have always been with us, hiding under rocks, but now they have Twitter. One wonders, though, if the outrage comes from the declaration, or because Obama did it. Six of one. . . .
