FIRST REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 28 [pdf]
100TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE MOON. 0654H.02I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

JOINT RESOLUTION

Submitting to the qualified voters of Missouri an amendment repealing Section 2 of Article I of the Constitution of Missouri, and adopting one new section in lieu thereof relating to affirming life.

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring therein:

That at the next general election to be held in the state of Missouri, on Tuesday next following the first Monday in November, 2020, or at a special election to be called by the governor for that purpose, there is hereby submitted to the qualified voters of this state, for adoption or rejection, the following amendment to Article I of the Constitution of the state of Missouri:

Section A. Section 2, Article I, Constitution of Missouri, is repealed and one new section adopted in lieu thereof, to be known as Section 2, to read as follows:
Section 2. That all constitutional government is intended to promote the general welfare of the people; that all persons have a natural right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of the gains of their own industry; that all persons are created equal and are entitled to equal rights and opportunity under the law; that to give security to these things is the principal office of government, and that when government does not confer this security, it fails in its chief design.
(1) That the term “person” under this constitution includes every human being, including every in utero human child at every stage of biological development from the moment of conception until birth.
(2) Nothing in this constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion.

Section B. Under section 116.155 and other applicable constitutional provisions and laws of this state authorizing the general assembly to adopt ballot language for the submission of a joint resolution to the voters of this state, the official ballot title of the amendment proposed in section A shall be as follows:
“Should the Missouri Constitution be amended to protect pregnant women and children in the womb by recognizing that a child in the womb of a woman is a person with a right to life which cannot be deprived by state or private action without due process and equal protection of law?”.
Section C. Under section 116.155 and other applicable constitutional provisions and laws of this state authorizing the general assembly to adopt a fiscal note summary for the submission of a joint resolution to the voters of this state, the official fiscal note summary of the amendment proposed by section A shall be as follows:
“This change is expected to have no fiscal impact.”

Yep, it’s only about forced birth.

Just asking.

Rep. Mike Moon (r) [2017 file photo].

A bill, prefiled on Thursday:

HB 1805
Requires United States Senators who represent Missouri to provide the general assembly with certain information
Sponsor: Moon, Mike (157)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2018
LR Number: 5262H.01I

The bill text:

SECOND REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1805 [pdf]
99TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE MOON. 5262H.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 21, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to senators who represent Missouri in the United States Senate.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 21, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 21.438, to read as follows: 21.438.
1. Each senator who represents Missouri in the United States Senate shall, from time to time, appear before the general assembly of this state to provide information on the activities of the federal government and the interaction of federal law with the laws and constitution of this state. The senator shall also act on the general assembly’s recommendations regarding measures or acts it deems necessary and expedient to serve the best interests of Missouri.
2. The general assembly, acting as a committee as a whole, may enforce the provisions of this section by subpoena under its rules and procedures on any occasion in which a senator who represents Missouri in the United States Senate has failed to appear before the general assembly for an unreasonable period of time.

“…from time to time…” “…for an unreasonable period of time.” That’s quite vague. And sloppy.

“…The senator shall also act on the general assembly’s recommendations regarding measures or acts it deems necessary and expedient to serve the best interests of Missouri…” I can hear the reply now: “You first.”

Yeah, we know, Roy Blunt (r) doesn’t hold open public town halls in Missouri. Someone else does.

Did Rep. Mike Moon just make a modest proposal?

abortion, chickens, Mike Moon, missouri

Rep. Mike Moon is over the moon about Governor Greitens’ special anti-abortion show boat session. Moon is the sponsor of a bill to ban abortion in the state so he is in tune with Greitens aspirations though he wants to go even further and ban abortion entirely, to hell with the legalities suggested by Roe v. Wade.

Moon, though, seems to have confused abortion with meat processing. After killing and eviscerating a chicken on camera, he had this to say:

… “God gave man dominion over life. He allows us to raise animals properly, and care for them, and then process them for food so we can sustain life,” he said. “And that’s what I’m doing here.”

He then switched gears and seemed to compare abortion to the chicken heart, “the heart of the matter,” he had extracted. He later tweeted disdainfully “some people seem to be freaking out about the chicken video. I wonder if they know what an abortion is?” Which dodges the question of whether or not Moon knows what an abortion is.

I think that, if I can follow the logic, Moon thinks that abortion has something to do with chicken processing and food production.

In which case, I’m put in mind of the the late 17th and early 18th century satirist, Jonathan Swift. In “A Modest Proposal,” Swift parodied the indifference and cruelty of the Mike Moons of his time by suggesting that the problems of poverty and widespread starvation in Ireland cold be solved by breeding and selling the children of the poor for food. Especially relevant to Moon’s performance is the fact that Swift writes that breeding babies for food might resolve the situation wherein women too poor to feed their children resorted to abortion:

There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pit in the most savage and inhuman breast.

Alas, though such irony may be lost on Moon, he is no stranger to bizarre and mean-minded rhetoric. He has recently distinguished himself by calling on Congress to repeal Obamacare with “manly firmness” . A couple of years ago, he called for a special session of the state legislature to stop the “Islamification” of Missouri by keeping out Syrian refugees, whom he also seems to regard as potential – but undesirable – food items, claiming that in his experience “a practicing Muslim comes in all flavors (black, white, brown, yellow American, African, European, etc. etc.).”

Is Moon maybe trying to out-Swift Swift?

Another gun bill, pre-filed on December 20th:

HB 300
Provides that if a business enterprise posts to prohibit the possession of concealed firearms on the property, the posting entity assumes responsibility for the safety of a person permitted to carry a firearm if harmed on the property.
Sponsor: Moon, Mike (157)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2017

Bill String: HB 300
Next Hearing: Hearing not scheduled
Calendar: Bill currently not on a House calendar
[….]

The bill summary [pdf]:

HB 300 — BUSINESS LIABILITY FOR PROHIBITING FIREARMS
SPONSOR: Moon
This bill makes a business that posts signs prohibiting concealed firearms liable for injuries or damages sustained by individuals, who would otherwise be authorized to carry firearms, while on the premises of that business. By posting signs prohibiting firearms the business would assume a duty to defend its customers. The business would be held responsible for the intention or reckless conduct of third parties, including trespasser. The bill authorizes the injured individual to sue the business and if successful, recover attorneys’ fees, expert witness costs, and court costs. This bill is similar to HB 96 (2017) and HB 2663 (2016).

“…This bill is similar to HB 96 (2017)…” Ooh, with refinements. Because freshman right wingnuts shouldn’t have all the fun.

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 300 [pdf]
99TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE MOON.
0735H.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 571, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to liability for concealed firearm exclusion in certain locations.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 571, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 571.068, to read as follows:
571.068. 1. Any business enterprise authorized to post signs on property prohibiting the possession of a concealed firearm by a person authorized to carry a concealed firearm under sections 571.101 to 571.121 shall assume absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the endorsement or permit holder while such person is on the premises of the business enterprise and on any property owned by the business enterprise that the endorsement or permit holder is required to traverse in order to travel to and from the location where the endorsement or permit holder’s firearm is stored. The provisions of this section shall not apply to private property not used for commercial purposes or to private residences of any type. For purposes of this section, “business enterprise” means any business that sells or provides goods or services to the general public. 2. The responsibility of the business enterprise for the safety and defense of the endorsement or permit holder shall extend to the conduct of other invitees, trespassers, or employees of the business enterprise.
3. (1) Any firearm carry endorsement or permit holder who is injured, suffers bodily injury or death, incurs economic loss or expense, property damage, or any other compensable loss as a result of the conduct occurring on property where signs are posted prohibiting concealed firearms shall have a cause of action against the business enterprise posting such signs so long as such person is an invitee on such property. In addition to damages, such person shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness costs, and other costs necessary to bring the cause of action.
(2) The statute of limitations for an action under this subsection shall be two years from the date of the occurrence giving rise to the damages, loss, or injury.
4. Any notice or sign prohibiting concealed firearms on the property shall also contain language citing the provisions of this section and stating that any endorsement or permit holder on the posted property is under the custodial responsibility of the business enterprise.
5. To prevail in an action brought under this section, the plaintiff shall show by a preponderance of the evidence that:
(1) The plaintiff was authorized to carry a concealed firearm under sections 571.101 to 571.121 at the time of the incident giving rise to the action;
(2) The plaintiff was prohibited from carrying a concealed firearm on the property where the incident occurred because signs were posted prohibiting concealed firearms on the property;
(3) The property was not required to post signs prohibiting concealed firearms on the property by state or federal law but was posted by choice of the defendant; and
(4) The business enterprise’s prohibition on carrying concealed firearms or other arms was the proximate cause of the damages, loss, or injury suffered by the plaintiff.
6. This section shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose.

[emphasis in original]

Yep:

….Here’s what should and will probably happen if this moronic bill becomes law: Business owners who post “no guns” will require anyone with a gun (who is not a commissioned peace officer) who they will not allow to enter with that weapon to sign a legal waiver before they are allowed on their premises without the gun….

“…The senator shall also act on the general assembly’s recommendations regarding measures or acts it deems necessary and expedient to serve the best interests of Missouri…”

Yeah, right. If any of 163 representatives want a vote in the United States Senate they can run for the seat and get elected.

“….The general assembly, acting as a committee as a whole, may enforce the provisions of this section by subpoena under its rules and procedures on any occasion in which a senator who represents Missouri in the United States Senate has failed to appear before the general assembly for an unreasonable period of time.”

Good luck with that. You’re going to have to pry Roy Blunt (r) out of Georgetown first.

“May [insert your preferred deity or higher power] bless and keep the Missouri House and their legislation – far away from us.”

Representative Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

Representative Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

This past week there has been flurry of really interesting prefiled bills from the republican majority in the House for the 2016 legislative session. A sampling of some of the winners:

HB 1794
Establishes the “All Lives Matter Act”, which changes the laws regarding the finding that life begins at conception
Sponsor: Moon, Mike (157)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5277H.02I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1794
[….]

Representative Mike Moon (r) is worried about a lot of things lately.

Tenther drivel, from Representative Tim Remole (r):

HB 1791
Specifies that any federal regulation or rule promulgated as a result of an executive order issued by the President of the United States must be declared invalid in Missouri and of no effect
Sponsor: Remole, Tim (006)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5091H.02I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1791
[….]

Right.

A pair of bills on guns from Representative Robert Cornejo (r):

HB 1765
Exempts firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition up to $1500 from attachment and execution
Sponsor: Cornejo, Robert (064)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5163H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1765
[….]

And:

HB 1764
Requires a church or other place of worship to provide explicit notice that concealed firearms are not allowed on the property
Sponsor: Cornejo, Robert (064)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4845H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1764
[….]

Does this mean if leave your attached gun on the collection plate you can take a $1,500.00 charitable deduction? Just asking.

Protecting the next generation from the outside world – Representative Kurt Bahr (r):

HB 1755
Specifies that parental liberty to direct the upbringing, education, and care of his or her children is a fundamental right not subject to infringement without demonstrating a compelling governmental interest
Sponsor: Bahr, Kurt (102)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4258H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1755
[….]

Does the acquisition of critical thinking skills constitute a compelling government interest? Just asking.

Until the full text of Representative Shane Roden’s (r) bill becomes available we won’t be able to tell if he’s an “originalist” or not:

HB 1750
Specifies that the Pledge of Allegiance must be recited at least once per school day in schools supported by public funds
Sponsor: Roden, Shane (111)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5230H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1750
[….]

We kind of like the original version from 1892.

Now, what on earth could have precipitated Representative Rick Brattin’s (r) punitive bill?:

HB 1743
Provides that any college athlete on scholarship who refuses to play for a reason unrelated to health shall have his or her scholarship revoked
Sponsor: Brattin, Rick (055)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4679H.01I
Last Action: 12/11/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1743
[….]

Is that on any given Sunday or Saturday or Friday or just major religious holidays? Just asking.

And, what legislative session could go forward without an abortion restriction bill with an attention getting title? Apparently Representative Tila Hubrecht (r) won the republican caucus bill naming lottery:

HB 1714
Establishes the Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act
Sponsor: Hubrecht, Tila (151)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 5269H.01I
Last Action: 12/10/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 1714
[….]

And, finally, a tiny bit of wishful thinking from Representative Caleb Rowden (r):

HB 1698
Establishes the Meet in Missouri Act to attract national conventions to Missouri
Sponsor: Rowden, Caleb (044)
Proposed Effective Date: 8/28/2016
LR Number: 4582H.01I
Last Action: 12/09/2015 – Prefiled (H)
Bill String: HB 169[….]

Anyone think they’ll make a play to host Planned Parenthood’s next national meeting?

Folks, that’s your right wingnut controlled Missouri General Assembly in action. Protect us all.

Bigotry, facebook, Mike Moon, missouri, religion

Pants wetters or cynical bigots. Maybe both?

From Representative Mike Moon (r) via Facebook:

MikeMoonFB120715

Mike Moon 22 hrs

This is the right policy! Until our government officials can ensure immigrants entering our country are peaceful and are willing to assimilate, they must be prohibited from touching U.S. soil.

Missouri must take measures to ensure the safety of our residents, too. This is no time to sit back and take chances….

So, Donld J. Trump (r) said “all Muslims”.

Some of the responses are illuminating:

[….] When a religion advocates murder as part of the free exercise thereof, it fails the constitutional test.

Wow, just wow.

[….] When its a threat to our National Security I have a right as do all Americans to defend ourselves. You are not thinking as protecting me or my family and friends [….]. You let more of these un vetted Muslims that believe in Shariah law over what you just quoted then it is you that is ignorant and unlearned! You should know better! Dont you think that there are places over there to help these people and send them instead of bringing them to the USA? There is a lot we can do. Why is this president so hell bent on defending Islam and Muslims ? Have you studied their religion? I have! They consider shariah law higher then what our government laws are. So they want to rape or behead infidels they can. They can do what they want. How are you going to defend that once we get 100’s of thousands of them here ? We are at war sir!

In response to someone who took issue with the bigotry:

[….] your wanting Americans to give up our Liberty and Freedoms for who? What about our freedoms? Do you hear yourself talk? They consider you an infidel. Why dont you give up your freedom and liberty and go live among them? You would be lucky to last a week. Stop asking Americans( actually your not asking your forcing them on us) to give up our freedom and liberty! And your asking us to pay for it to ! Stop the madness!

[….] Your an idiot! Christians are under attack. 14 Jews and Christians just lost their lives. What about the Christians and Jews that are losing their lives and are being targeted in Syria and Iraq and other places now? Know your history! Know whats going on in the world now! Learn to make sentences for yourself instead of pulling one or two lines from history. Interpret history as a whole. Guess you want to take my guns too?

You’re wondering what that’s all about? Your guess is as good as mine.

And this:

[….] I agree, Mike Moon!! By the way, Muslim isn’t a religion….

And Representative Moon (r) replied:

Mike Moon You are correct, [….]. Thanks for chiming in.

Back to business, responding to the individual who took issue with their bigotry:

[….] You can lol! All you want [….]. You go live with them and see how accommodating they are. You tell me after a year how that goes.

Uh, we live with “them” now.

[….] You are completely correct Mike. I get so tired of the left be so willing to give the full benefits of our free society to non citizens!

Really? You mean like in the Constitution? Did we just stumble on to the set of Starship Troopers? Just asking.

And then, this:

[….]I disagree with you [….]..muslim countries should be taking them…we certainly did not accept all germans during world war 1 or 2 And we did not open our doors to imigrants from italy or japan during he war How would this be different?.

To the world’s eternal shame many nations in the world, including the United States, denied sanctuary to persecuted minorities. As a result millions lost their lives. Uh, we actually interned American citizens of Japanese descent during World War II, to our shame. I’m beginning to wonder about that last part.

[….] I just wonder, during WW11, how many German people were allowed to immigrate to this country??just asking..

And how many died?

[….] I agree. I think we might need to go one more and close our boarders.

“Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents.
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain’t got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room….”

Oh, wait…

[….] Their ideology doesn’t fit here, in fact, many of their “religious” beliefs and acts are illegal in the United States. Ending the war in their country or even keeping them in a country that practices that ideology is the best bet. I would however consider allowing Christians to come here, those people need protection.

Uh….
