The surcharges did not receive much attention when lawmakers approved them Feb. 24., but the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative since Virginia residents learned about the fees this month.
At first glance, you think, aha, the legislature enacts this law under cover of darkness. Doesn't it also come to mind, Why the hell didn't anyone report on the damn fees until when they went into effect? It does for me.
But seriously, it is absolutely criminal the disregard the Virginia legislature shows for the Constitution of the United States, by enacting what is clearly a violation of the 14th amendment, as it does not grant equal protection under the law.
Virginia Republicans and Democrats demonstrated in the spirit of bipartisanship how opposing factions can agree on something and both be wrong. Boo.
