Public advocacy of a certain moral code while privately violating it is one thing - putting people in jail for something while doing it privately is another.

Beg your pardon, but Republican legislators do far more than "advocate" their (phony, bullsh*t) moral code. They ram it down our throats far more than any one prosecutor can do.

It's only going to get worse as November draws closer.

Yeah, I'll buy that for a dollar.
