Here are my answers to some frequently asked questions about the resumption of the legislative session, which still has not been formally announced, but is expected to resume on September 29th.
1.) Yes, the legislature can vote for medical freedom legislation this month without Asa.
2.) Yes, the legislature can pass medical freedom legislation with 51%.
3.) The law will not be effective immediately unless the legislation passes with a 2/3 majority. (This is why we’ve been pushing so hard for a 2/3 vote. We probably have 51%, but getting to 2/3 will take most of the RINOs voting with the R’s. Remember, the legislature is roughly 40% R, 25% D, and 35% RINO.)
4.) It only takes 51% to override the inevitable Asa veto, but it still takes 2/3 to become effective immediately.
5.) We expect many bills to be filed and considered. This is a good strategy, because all may not stick. Let your state senator and state representative know which rights are most important to you.
6.) Yes, we do expect a legal challenge from Tom Mars, regardless of what the legislature passes; and yes, we do expect a left-wing lunatic Pulaski County judge to toss some or all of the legislation.
7.) Yes, we think the Arkansas Supreme Court will uphold the legislation, but that will take months.
