I'm keeping an eye on the news about this one.
from what i can gather... a couple of the democrats voted with republicans to elect a new senate majority leader.
The new leader is also a democrat, but one who really doesn't like how things have been run by his own party and ... i guess it was a bit of a shakeup.
Now, many of the democrats are calling the vote invalid, claiming they were "adjourned" ... which I'm trying to figure out ... how were they adjourned. They were right there when it happened.
they're not scheduled to be adjourned until June 22.
but... anyway they stormed out, shut off the internet and power so the rest of the people there had to work in darkness.
the last i heard, the governor (patterson) is refusing to acknowledge the new leader... he's apparently going to talk to him but..
might as well just quote Evita. "We have ways of making you vote for us or at least at making you abstain"
to me it sounds just like that...
the vote was one they didn't like because it will take away their control of the NY senate... Therefore they're claiming it was invalid. and that if it had been something going in THEIR favor it would ahve passed.
just like the budget that was supposedly passed in secret.
but anyway they're trying to take it to court ... pressing their claim that the vote was invalid
and before anyone says "farce news" etc... i've been reading about this on multiple news sites, not just fox.
oh ... and if i remember the man voted as the leader ... owns the sabers and moved to florida to escape ny's crappy taxes.
but before anyone comments that "he can't be in senate if he doesn't live in ny!"... you only have to have an apartment there. that's how hilary did it
