Performance art. Typical of state legislatures during new sessions. Doubtful if the Tennessee Senate even takes up the bill (I still have hope for sanity). Even if the Senate passes it (hope dimming); no way would the Governor sign the bill (hope is drowning). At least the State Supreme court will rule the bill unconstitutional (all hope is lost); but there’s always the US Supreme Court as a voice for justice and fairness.
