North Carolina’s new $300 billion state budget contains a provision that gives extraordinary investigative powers to a partisan oversight committee co-chaired by Senate Leader Phil Berger (R) and House Speaker Tim Moore (R). The Joint Legislative Committee on Government Operations — or Gov Ops for short — is empowered to seize “any document or system of record” from anyone who works in or with state and local government during its investigations. The rule applies to contractors, subcontractors, and any other non-state entity “receiving, directly and indirectly, public funds,” including charities and state universities.

You’re leaving out the first amendment, which the Republicans want gone so they can make porn illegal.
Mind you, the point of making porn illegal isn’t to get rid of porn. Daddy’s gotta have his pictures. The point of making porn illegal is to ensure that it is made through slavery and rape, not through consensual sexual expression.
