OMG!! They introduced it as an emergency bill, meaning that it goes into effect as soon as it's signed! However, I don't believe they'll get the 2/3rds vote to have it pass as an emergency bill. If any Republican legislators support this, they'll be unemployed after November 2.

If it passes as an emergency bill, the damage will have been done before a Referendum can be placed on the ballot to repeal the bill - there is no way to retreive the millions of DL's that will have been issued by that time.

If it doesn't pass as an emergency bill - Cedillo will re-introduce it as a "regular" bill, which means it can't go into effect until 1 January 2005. We'll have the referendum qualified by then - and the law will be held up until after the next election where this Referndum will appear.

Hey Sabertooth and kellynla, does RINOld need a 2/3rds majority to have the bill take effect immediately?

How many GOP defectors will the Rats need to pass this as an emergency bill?

It is so scary!

Apparently there is going to be a HUGE rally in Burlingame (outside SF) at the Hyatt, at 11:00am February 21st.

If you know anyone in the area, tell them to go!
