Just because I can, for now!

Context matters. Stupid/silly bills are filed all the time. Who is behind this one and how many co-sponsors or supporters? In other words - is this something Drifter would post and thus not worth worrying about?

For the sake of argument, suppose it's legit, as a cursory reading makes it appear to be. Where do you draw the line? "They won't pass it." and they do? "He won't sign it" and he does? "They won't uphold it" and they do? Since we don't agree on much, what would it take for you to resist the government mandating to you a list of "things you may not say under penalty of law"?
