Arizonans can sue governments for 'Marxist' ideology, Senate panel says
PHOENIX — A Senate panel voted Wednesday to provide a legal basis in law for any Arizonan to file suit against any level of government they contend is "furthering Marxist ideologies.''
On a party-line vote, Republicans on the Government Committee agreed to open the door for litigation designed to stop public funds from being used on a laundry list of ideas.
Peoria Republican Sen. Anthony Kern's measure, SB 1195, would also bar spending taxpayer dollars to promote, advocate or plan to, among other examples, reduce motor vehicle traffic through biking or public transit, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, limit increases in global temperatures, reduce consumption of meat or dairy products, or anything "furthering Marxist ideologies including stakeholder capitalism.''
The original version of his bill also would have barred using public funds to recycle and reuse water for drinking "that has touched human feces.''
But Kern conceded that, as worded, that would do more than undermine cities' efforts by cities to reclaim wastewater. It even would have barred the use of water from the Colorado River

Marx Bothers did. Well, thank goodness! I hated their ideological comedy and they even groomed my kids into laughing at their antics 30 years ago. They should be banned from promoting themselves from their graves any more and deported back to Russia.
