Maybe Morrison wont be on board with SB1966 after all. To quote her, see image (from Friday)

To eliminate any right, all anyone has to do is declare it not to be a right, then repeal its legal protection. So for her to say she "honors" all rights, she really means she honors only those rights which she considers to be rights. The same could reasonably be said of anyone. It just lays bare how hollow the proclamation of "honoring rights" is without specifying what things are rights.
