Quote:You are absolutely correct in that it is one of the rare occasions where I agree with the ALCU.

 

The thing that I find interesting is that this bill was overlooked by the press.  I'm willing to bet that the majority of people reading this thread had no idea that this was being proposed.  I didn't know it until I read Ted Cruz's book, A Time for Truth and actually did some research myself (his book does have footnotes citing sources).  This is the same book that the New York Times wanted to keep off of their best sellers list.

 

I think the Times' reason is sound.   They want authentic best sellers on their best seller list.   If the sales to date are mainly bulk sales to just a few entities, that seems like kind of a bogus way to create a "best seller." 

 

From your link: 

 

"In the case of this book, the overwhelming preponderance of evidence was that sales were limited to strategic bulk purchases,"
