No other info, but I can't wait to hear more details on this. First they vote, then they draft the bill?

1. Wait... can they do that?

I mean, the Rethugs don't give a shit about rules or laws unless it benefits them, but I'm pretty sure the bill has to be written before they can vote on it.

Good to hear from Kelda. My assemblyperson, and I hope she and the other Dems do everything they can to fight it and stall it and everything else.

2. Um, no. Can't do that.

4. i sure hope they did!

these guys belong in jail!

[Shiver]

5. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Can't this bill be stricken down by, like, a judge or something?

8. Well, if it was an honest judge.

[Arkana]

3. So they were in such a hurry to fuck the unions

that they broke the law doing it?

6. Um, isn't that just a tad ILLEGAL, LOL???????

7. Perhaps not - if your Attorney General is also a republi-CON.

9. If it's a conference committee, that's not illegal.

It would simply have to go to a vote in the assembly again.

10. Kelda is an attorney. That is absolutely outrageous.
