The GOP minority in the Senate managed to filibuster the daycare union jamdown last night – as in “up until 7AM”.
It wasn’t a “filibuster”, per se – the GOP added over 80 amendments to the jamdown, and debated them vigorously. As of sixish AM, they’d gotten through a couple dozen, with dozens to go, and Tom Bakk tabled the bill. There are other things to get done.
Like maybe a budget.
The jamdown may come back. But so will the amendments.
Cross your fingers, and stay tuned. The good guys may pull this one off.
When I read the title of this post, I was sure it was a commentary on last night’s festivities in St. Paul.
Occurs to me a guy could have cleaned up nicely with an assless wedding dress stand in front of the Excel.
Senate Democrats beat them long enough that it passed the Senate.
