Shayna, read the law itself, and not some “administration official” with a self-serving lie. I know it’s hard to read yourself away from the echo chamber of publications that reinforce your view, but it’s possible. I read the SDMB in large part because so many people here don’t share my viewpoint, and I’m willing to hazard a guess that you don’t do something similar.
