    They are the worst. In my state, the Republicans, in the name of freedom and free speech, are trying to push bills to require like three or five minutes of uninterrupted time for citizens who wish to speak at any public meeting .

    Dumbass Republicans think oh that’s great, people should be able to speak at public meetings.

    Business still has to get done though. That’s why limits on the timing and number of speakers and the conditions which require notice and public comment are well settled and this is a solution in search of a problem. What they are really intending to do is give extremist members of the public a statutory right to perpetually disrupt public meetings and prevent business from being done. This is part of their campaign too prevent well-meaning people from having the energy for public service.
