Welcome to the Talibangelical Republic of Kentuckystan - Surrender Your Rights at the Border
How perfectly appropriate that the cowardly dems went behind closed doors to vote to turn the Bluegrass into Saudi Arabia. Without a roll call vote, we're just going to have to assume that the same goatfucking morons who voted for Xian sharia the first time in public voted for it again last night.
Beth Musgrave at the Herald:
Kentucky House Democrats voted Monday night to override a gubernatorial veto of controversial legislation known as the "religious freedom" bill.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, declined to give a final tally for the vote to override Gov. Steve Beshear's veto of House Bill 279. The vote was taken behind closed doors in the House Democratic caucus late Monday. It was not clear if the full House was going to vote on the bill later Monday.
It takes 51 votes to override a gubernatorial veto. House Bill 279 passed the Democratic-controlled House 82-7 earlier this session. Monday was the 29th day of the 30-day session.
Stumbo said the discussion was heated.
Beshear vetoed the measure on Friday, saying that while he values religious freedom, the bill went too far.

Beshear said he vetoed the bill on Friday because it was too vague and could result in costly lawsuits for state and county governments.
More than 50 organizations had opposed the bill, arguing that it could lead to more discrimination and could overrule ordinances in Lexington, Louisville, Covington and Vicco that protect gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination.
SNIP
The Republican-controlled Senate has already said that it has the votes to override the veto if the House Democrats opt to vote for an override.
