how can we slow down these legislators, at all levels, in passing laws? There should be some way to recognize and reward those who remove them from the books.

I’m a life-long non-smoker as is my wife who is allergic to tobacco smoke. I don’t like it, but I don’t want laws to protect her. I’ll do that myself. If there are smokers in a restaurant, we’ll go elsewhere; ditto hotels rooms, etc.

Get the government off our backs!!!!!!

It’s bad enough when legislatures pass nanny laws but the guy in the article wants a federal judge to do what the Virginia legislature has so far refused to do.

If the judge does it, it would not be unprecedented. Unconstitutional but when did the liberals ever let a little thing like the Constitution stop them?

That's roughly my position on poisonous wheat, barley and rye.

It's served everywhere and sometimes it's impossible to get something that's not contaminated.

To protect myself I go elsewhere. Doesn't mean it's right to serve poison in restaurants of course.
