A resolution for ND to "recognize the Kingship of Jesus Christ" and a resolution urging the US Supreme Court to end marriage equality... These are the priorities of the far-right Republicans in the ND Legislature. 🙄 Good grief.

Good news: HB 1150 - which would have reinstated ND's "blue laws" - went down in flames today. That means current law will stand and ND businesses can continue to make their own decisions on whether to be open on Sunday mornings or not. Lawmakers noted the many inconsistencies in the bill.
