Absolute sh**t ruling. 

I'm pretty sure that in her gubernatorial campaign, she said she supported the 1864 law.  Someone should ask her how her views have evolved.

Let's discuss what else existed in medicine during the 1860's, shall we?

- It was still believed that the body was made up of four humors: phlegm, black bile, yellow bile, and blood.  The balance of these humors was believed to contribute to a person's health and mental stability. 

- The idea of germs and bacteria causing illness was radical and widely controversial. 

- We administered mercury and lead to treat illness. 

- We used "water therapy", where people suffering from mental illness were forcibly held underwater until they lost consciousness.  If they could be revived, it was believed they would be cured. 

Let's bring these things back while we're at it. 

Please do not give Republican legislatures any further ideas.

I don't think Democrats in the Arizona legislature would block a repeal of the 1864 law, but I'm uncertain whether Republicans will allow one to come up for a vote.  (Note: I'm assuming that the majority party controls the legislative agenda, as is done in the US Congress -- if this is wrong, someone please correct me.)

The AZ House has voted to repeal it, now to see if the Senate wants to kill Republican electoral chances.

The bill is likely to pass the Senate.  The House was the big stumbling block.
