    Critics sued the state, saying it violated the First Amendment.

    And taxpayer dollars, which Republicans claim to be such responsible stewards of, are being wasted to defend lawsuits like this.

      Part of the reason I'm trying to move out of this shithole state. Tired of my money funding these hateful fucks.

      I assume republicans in Texas blame critics for forcing Texas to use taxpayer money to fight lawsuits

        This is correct. They actually do care about tax dollars being used to defend lawsuits when they could be used for more conservative things like buying bibles for public schools and funding beauty pageants for tots dressed entirely in ammunition

          Modern conservatives are the motivation for b-plots on Always Sunny. There's gonna be a Franks Little Beauties 2, and they'll obviously be dressed in ammo.

      I mean, yeah. Their supporters see sexual and gender differences as degeneracy that will bring down civilization. Of course they support using tax money that way.
