But the political standoff over the bill - and the monumental protests at the state Capitol against it - appear far from over.

This is the kind of journalism that really pi$$es me off. Can this "journalist" give me an operational definition of "monumental" as used here, or was this word simply chosen for the emotions it evokes? It's sad that journalists have forgotten that their job is to report the news, not proffer their own agenda.
