McCrory has singed one of the bills

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/12/17/nc-gop-strips-some-democratic-governors-power/95555182/

“The new law merges the State Board of Elections and State Ethics Commission into one board made up equally of Democrats and Republicans. The old law would have allowed Cooper to put a majority of Democrats on the elections panel. The law also makes elections for appellate court judgeships officially partisan again.

In a final twist, the elections bill gives the Court of Appeals, which is dominated by Republicans, a role in constitutional challenges to laws, such as those just passed in the session.

McCrory has not yet indicated whether he would sign an additional bill that would make Cooper’s appointment of Cabinet officials subject to approval by the state Senate and reduce the number of appointees who serve at the pleasure of the governor from 1,500 to 425, The Charlotte Observer reports.

The bill would also block the governor from appointing members of the boards of trustees for University of North Carolina schools.”

I urge him to also sign the second bill.

Commies pledge to sue.

Sentient herpes blister and RINO/DEM operative John Weaver calls it “Banana Republic behavior”. I call it patriotism, and necessary.

This is how things get done in Trumpland: Even if you lose, you win.

And inflict the maximum amount of pain as possible on your enemies.

It’s called “winning”. Get used to it.

“McCrory has singed one of the bills.”

Oh, no! Why would he do that? I hope that it didn’t burn badly enough to become unreadable.

Oh, wait, you meant that McCrory *signed* the bill. Whew, that’s more like it. : )

But seriously, why hasn’t McCrory signed the other bill into law yet?
