I have been thinking about the Senate reredistricting in the past few weeks. If the VA Senate passed it as a stand-alone bill (not as an amendment to the House bill thta made technical changes to the House maps), the Speaker would not be able to decide that it wasn’t a “germane amendment.” Of course, the Senate is still 50-50 (the RAT Senator elected Lt. Gov. won’t resign until January), and Bolling was against the redrawing, so Senate Republicans have their work cut out for them to get it passed. but passing the Senate would be the hard part, since Republicans in the House won’t face voters for two more years (and the ones who lost have nothing to lose) and lame-duck Gov. McDonnell better sign it if he expects to get any support from Republicans ever again.
I wouldn’t bet on those wusses lame ducking it. But I hope they do.
