"You are coloring outside Constitutional parameters"
Testimony from CT hearings follows:

This is such a great quote:
Mikutel explained that Connecticut doesn’t want to go down that route and so it makes lawmakers’ job more “difficult.”“The reason that your jobs are becoming so difficult is because you’re coloring outside the lines of constitutional parameters,” Steed shot back. “That’s the bottom line. You are trying to marriage up public safety with constitutional rights. The Constitution did not guarantee public safety, it guaranteed liberty. And sometimes what comes with liberty is tragedy, unfortunately.”
God bless this guy... that's the most articulate, on point, no BS statement I've heard through the entire sordid affair. Fuckin A.

Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.
An extremely quotable testimony! Couldn't have articulated those points any better myself.Originally Posted by Dingo
Favorite bit there.The Constitution did not guarantee public safety, it guaranteed liberty. And sometimes what comes with liberty is tragedy, unfortunately.
Excellent quote! This quote highlights the truth that you can't legislate "correct behavior"! It's liberty vs. tyranny, and even tyranny won't prevent tragedy! People are always free to make choices...

Great quote. I said about the same thing to my young sons tonight during a dinner discussion, albeit less eloquently than that gentleman.
Finally got around to watching that... well said. Problem is, you can school legislators all you want, but I don't think they're listening anymore, they're gonna do whatever they want, our opinions and facts be damned.

"The revolution will not be televised... Instead it will be filmed from multiple angles via cell phone cameras, promptly uploaded to YouTube, Tweeted about, and then shared on Facebook, pending a Wi-Fi connection."
They're going to use that last bit against him, arguing that public safety is paramount. And it'll work. People nowadays don't want liberty. They want to be able to do things without risk; even risky things.
I have saved his quote and intend to distribute it widely.
