That's a ludicrously forgiving reading of what the bill (which looks like going through) is about. Steelmanning is an exercise in clarifying one's own thoughts, not in justifying fraud and witch-hunting.

Yes, I did. Your characterisation of the new law is factually ridiculous.

That isn't all the law does, as you would know if you actually read it.

I haven't been able to find the text of the bill — only summaries such as this one. Do you have a link?
