FOSTA passed the Senate 97-2... I don't think that's a fair assessment in this instance


Authored by a Republican, with 43 Republican co-sponsors and 27 Democratic co-sponsors.

But, your criticism of my comment was fair.


On that note, I wonder how many people might disagree with the bill's heavy-handedness but don't want to be seen as "opponents" to something like FOSTA.


In several states adultery is still illegal, though I believe a misdemeanor in most, in some (Idaho, for one), it's a felony.

Regardless of how few people have been sanctioned criminally recently (and fun fact, in some of those states adultery is a crime only a woman can commit...), very very few politicians want to be the one to formally repeal laws against "the sanctity of marriage", however antique they may be.
