What a bunch of knob gobblers, enough to override a veto? Maybe it’s time to go partisan and bicameral. Regular Republican primaries could get rid of some of these chumps.

I’ve been open to the idea of unicameral state legs but others, as I recall Auh2, argued strongly that it makes it too easy to pass shite like this.

Unicameral legislatures make it easier to pass bad laws (only one house does the vetting), and non-partisan legislators can’t be defeated in primaries if they stray from their purported ideology. Nebraska has a lethal combination.

And, yes, thank God that Nebraskans get to elect their own U.S. Senators instead of having the state legislature do it, which is why the state elected conservative Ben Sasse to the Senate instead of some “non-partisn” milquetoast.
