daymn this is terrible

   Daym this is unconstitutional.
   States and municipalities can write anything down on paper they like
   and call it a law, but that doesn't mean it's enforceable. It does
   however add additional hoops people protesting have to jump through. In
   this case state and federal court hoops. Albeit, state courts often
   look at 'laws' like this in chambers and instantly redact them without
   even time-in-court.
   Cities, aamof, often call them ordinances... Because they ORDAIN them
   to be so. Not because they have any legitimate standing under state or
   federal law. My town has literally dozens of them that are obviously
   not constitutional mostly aimed at the displaced workers they've
   literally created by their greed-based 'planning', and local courts are
   'packed' with elected judges who often have little legal experience, no
   interest in the judicial 'carer path', rubber stamp those "ordinances"
   and convict people for them (none are incarcerate-able). Which is like
   saying if you don't like our law sue us in state court buddy.
