I realize what you are saying has happened, and will happen again. It happens in MA all the time, but we have very few people in the legislature here to oppose them. In WA they have only a one vote lead. And there are Democrats on board with some of the proposed bills the Dem leadership “shelved”. Which is why they did it, they know if it were brought to a vote, drilling would pass, and they cannot allow that, not with a republican in office. Not to mention that would derail their socialism plans some.
Nonetheless, I shall still bet against the OCD drilling ban being restored.
To bastardise Shakespeare a bit: ''There are more means of perverting law in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Pelosionia.''
