The nanny-staters are probably happy as a fat rat in a cheese house. This is just a taste of what liberals would do on a vastly larger, all encompassing scale, in a total crackdown on personal freedom if they ever had the opportunity. And that opportunity could come if numbnuts got re-elected.
Until then, they'll just keep chipping away at our basic freedom and liberties with stuff like this from the midget with the Napoleon Complex in New York City.
