I guess they were surprised by the backlash and backpedaled.
Most of the legislators that voted for that bill are (I hope) savvy enough to know that it would never hold up to a constitutional challenge. It was supposed to be just business as usual, passing unacceptable laws to pander to the extreme right-wing voters and complain that the feds interfere with the states when the Supreme Cpourt throwns them out.
Besides that, does anybody know exactly what that law said? Did it target specifically gays or was it worded to allow discrimination of ANYONE (gays, muslims, jews, blacks, women, etc) for whatever religious reason?
