Apparently JD never read the bill, which protected ALL farmers from lawsuit and made the Monsantos of the world liable for damages. This guy has got to go.
 

Apparently a few people haven't read the bill:

JD and AP state their opinion. GS only seems to state history. Was there more to her answer than was printed?
