Republican lawmakers in Kentucky on Wednesday swept aside the Democratic governor’s veto of the bill that, among other provisions, bans gender-affirming treatment, including sex changes and hormone therapy for anyone under the age of 18, and would require doctors to detransition minors in their care.
The votes to override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto were lopsided in both legislative chambers — where the GOP wields supermajorities — and came on the next-to-last day of this year’s legislative session. The Senate voted 29-8 to override Beshear’s veto. A short time later, the House completed the override on a vote of 76-23.
As emotions surged, some people protesting the bill from the House gallery were removed and arrested after their prolonged chanting rang out in the chamber. The protesters, their hands bound, chanted “there’s more of us not here” as they waited to be taken away from the Capitol.
The mainstream media was silent on the fact that this was an insurrection. If we follow their rhetoric about Jan 6 that these “insurrections” acted even worse than the Jan 6 protesters who are now in jail.
Hundreds demonstrated at the statehouse in the morning with many eventually entering the Capitol and shouting over debate on the bill.
“When Trans kids are under attack, what do we do? Say ‘no,’ fight back,” they chanted.

Some supporters of the bill called the actions of the protesters an “insurrection.”
A group of people who support SB 150 turned to us as they were leaving the gallery as chants against the bill erupted in the Kentucky house chamber.
“This is what, worse than January 6th,” one person said.

Do you agree with them is this an insurrection?
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
