Edit: Some GOP Legislators Lacking

In an editorial Monday evening, the Idaho Statesman took to task the 21 representatives and 2 senators who chose ideology over Idaho families by voting against the child support enforcement bill in the special session yesterday:

Dissenting legislators can feign caution and prudence and suspicion of the federal government and the United Nations all they want. They can attempt to blame the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare for not properly informing or educating the Legislature about amendment options and about what was at stake back in April. But none of that line of thinking excuses what was known then and is known all the more now. The 50 states are participants in a federal government that has interaction with a global society and international law, and all the HB 1 child support bill does is strengthen Idaho’s ability to operate in that larger community (and vice versa) when enforcing child support orders. Idaho can say no to orders from other countries when they are outside these uniform agreements. More here.

DFO: I consider any legislator who voted against this bill to be unqualified to represent North Idaho because he or she is putting radical ideology and paranoia over serving the interests of constituents. Thoughts?
