So that's that. Again, read @dominicholden's report for all of what happened today in North Carolina:http://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/north-carolina-lgbt-discrimintion#.hr3Oqrn04v …
In short, it's kind of amazing to me that we're not seeing more pushback from the usual suspects. This is a very broad bill that fits ...
... the perceived (and highlighted!) negative consequences of the Arkansas bill AND the Houston referendum effort of last year!
Gonna be very interesting to see what comes next here, and I'd definitely be following @dominicholden to find out.

OK, about the preemption of local ordinances: Lots are asking about this ...https://twitter.com/robdeko/status/712861260510064641 …
Chris Geidner added,
Here's the deal: Similar laws were passed in 2011 in TN and last year in AR; no challenge has been decided on the merits in either state.
@chrisgeidner AR law included policy language transparently intended to satisfy Romer
@chrisgeidner something about uniformity of laws promoting economic growth
@CookieSprout Yes, I know ... I didn't want to get into every bit of the args here, since the response is "that's clearly pretext," but yes.
