Bump!

Link?

[Born Conservative]

Sounds like something that would happen in Pennsylvania...

[Enterprise]

I wonder how many laws have been passed by legislators who were not there. Astounding!

You're looking to Arnie Schwarzenegger to support your 2nd Amendment rights? That's funny.

[glock rocks]

I'd wager Ronnie Barrett would have a few select words about this.

But the rules seem to matter very little in Sacramento. Shortly after voting to send the fifty caliber ban to a well-deserved grave, California Democrats called for a "re-vote" and we watched as a handful of Democrats pressed the vote button at their own desk, then calmly walked to the empty desk of another member of the Assembly and voted a second time.

One of the reasons my family and I left Calif...for stunts like this by "our representatives". The state's citizens would pass a PROP...and if the "Sac power brokers" didn't like it they would basically sue the citizens and get them overturned.

We had enough of it.....and moved.

BTW.....when this passes....( and it will eventually...) will .50cal Blackpowder weapons be illegal too?

God Save our Country...

I hope they got that on video. Now that's someting to cause a riot,.... but won't.

Here's a question: if they were not using a button system, and members were absent, would Democrats be able to vote twice by raising both hands?

Also, why couldn't some other (Republican) members of the legislature press buttons for the Democrats? It's not as if the absent members left any directions to their remaining colleagues as to what to vote for (otherwise, they were neglecting their duties by not pressing these buttons during the first vote).

This, we learn, is what California Legislators call "Ghost Voting."

This is what ALL Calif. legislators call "ghost voting" or just a Democrat practice? Can you find out from the guy who observed this and e-mailed you? Thanks.

Did the New Jersey Supreme court approve the mulligan vote?

I notice that dims never seem to do things by the rules. Is it just me or is it true.

[blackie]

I lived in CA for 60 years and left in '90 ~ thank God I saw the handwriting on the wall!

Be Ever Vigilant!

[hattend]

Send this to Roger Hitchcock, Hugh Hewitt, Tom Sullivan and all the other California based political talk show hosts and ask if they have ever heard of "Ghost Voting"

[Redbob]

And if you're hoping for Arnold to do the right thing - dream on!

[Blood of Tyrants]

It really does happen all the time in all the states.

[Still Thinking]

And why is the only binding vote the one where the measure passes. Why can't the antis demand another vote on the chance t might fail? Reminds me of EU ratification votes. If the answer comes up no, we can always hold another election, but if the answer is yes, then the people have spoken.
