...very compelling theater. And waking up to find out they didn't pass the bill was a great thing!

I do have a question about the rule of law, however. Whether or not the Republicans finally backed off, there is clear evidence of illegal tampering with the timestamps. Since that is the case, why is no one being held to account? We don't back off charging the Little People with crimes, even if they are unsuccessful. Just try robbing a bank; even if you don't succeed, you'll be cooling your heels in jail for your attempt. Apparently this is not the case for our lawmakers, even at the state level.

I sincerely wish someone would go after them; if not to charge them with a crime, then at least to expel them from the legislature on ethical grounds.
