According to the embedded link in the story (not the excerpt), the legislature adjourned. At the least, they used the word "adjourn" and not "recess" in their bill.

So the governor is claiming they adjourned, and the Democrats are claiming that adjourned didn't really mean adjourned.

those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it...

So the question: is there any *there* there?

But before we can determine the meaning of *there*, we must first agree on the definition of *is*.

Once having agreed on the definition of *is*,we can then determine the definition of *there*.

Once all definitions have been established we can then begin litigation to determine if, in fact, there is any appreciable amount of there there.

Oh Joy!
We can keep two judges and three armies of lawyers busy for years!

In a saner time that would have been ok, but now the opposition is disloyal. Looks like this is going to need to go to court, which is another shot at calvinball, sadly.

Only reason I could see for a pocket veto would be the fear that a non-pocket veto would be overridden by legislature.
