| Legal experts who have been studying the law believe that the Governor is mistaken (or is being misleading), and that the law, at best, would allow for an umanned table to be set up with freely available water. This is one of the problems with these laws being written so quickly, often from language created by special interest groups who have an interest in maximizing their political gain. (Not sure if that was the case here, but it's a common practice.) |

| I think it's obvious that the law was designed to thwart groups like BLM, which I imagine is legal. If the law actually goes into effect, CNN and MSNBC will have reporters and cameras on the scene to either prevent or record any individual with food and water being stopped. I'm sure the law will be appealed to a higher court. The governor's statement is on the record. I would assume that lawyers for the appeal would quote his exact words in a courtroom. |

| What matters in the courts is how the law is written and legally interpreted, not what the Governor is saying in the face of serious opposition from major corporations. His statements might be used to alter legislation going forward, but that does not change what the law says or influence how it is interpreted. CNN and MSNBC might take their cameras down there, but they have no legal power and they will not change the way the law is enforced. And the highest court that the case can go to is politically aligned with the people who wrote this legislation in the first place, and I see no reason to expect that a court will strike this law down. |
