"But I think one mistake is to attempt to legislate morality, something Republicans seem very willing and very wanting to do."

I see this comment so much that it almost gets by me without thinking. Today I thought about it. Morality, according to the dictionary is "of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior."

That is certainly the business of a legislature. The tone of the comment, however, implies something more of a religious lean into morality than what would be commonly sensible without religious context. Is that right?

If not what do you mean when you post that comment that has become so common? What specifically are you referring to by "one mistake"?
