Oklahoma Senate Joint Resolution 11 will allow voters to decide whether Persons Forced to Register deserves constitutional rights
This is really bad. if this resolution advances, Oklahoma will allow the ignorant masses to decide if Persons Forced to Register are excluded from basic rights afforded to us by the state constitution.
You already know few people will vote to grant even the most basic of human rights to Persons Forced to Register.

Bad dog: disbarred and disgraced ex-attorney Eric Deters exploits Predator Panic in KY gubernatorial bid
If you lived in the Cincinnati area the past 20 or so years, you've probably heard of the self-professed law dog Eric Deters. But his law license was suspended in KY in 2013, yet he still claims to have practiced law in KY as late as 2021. Deters is known for harassing critics, including filing SLAPP suits. Recently, he was charged with menacing and harasing communications.
So OF COURSE this piece of shit is going to tap into QAnon and FloriDUH governor Wrong DeSantis by calling for the execution of people convicted of sex offenses. See below for the offending video or go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7SFBT45OHc
