The measure had received unanimous approval in the senate and was headed for the house of representatives when sponsor Duncan Scott explained that he’d intended it as satire — he felt that too many mental health practitioners had been acting as expert witnesses. It was withdrawn and never signed into law.

You fucking cowards. You had a chance to have one of the weirdest laws in the books and you chickened out and said “hurr I’m only pretending lol”.

Asshole.
