The Texas Attorney General gave his support for this bill yesterday and stated it would likely stand up in SCOTUS if challenged.

Yes, he did go out on a limb to say th eUS Supremem court would not toss this out, despite the many legal, Supreme Court, and capital trial experts who say otherwise.
This bill is all about politics, not protecting children. Texas underfunds all programs that protect children!

Texas, under Perry, has so underfunded child protection that anything positive now will make them look like heros to all who have not paid attention. The previous poster is correct, this is politics at it's ugliest not about our children.

Oh but it IS about our children and the sick animals that rape
them.
