    If I recall correctly Filler Corn had no problems acting in a stealth manner with no debate.

      Might be good to remind them of that.

    Divided Congresses are often relatively paralyzed and today’s political polarization is extreme, possibly the greatest in 150 years, but I am not quite that old. So this is not entirely surprising.

    “That potential warfare that is simmering near Crimea may pale in comparison to the war that is threatening to break out in the Virginia General Assembly.”

    No it does not.

      OK. Maybe I engaged in a little hyperbole.

    Some wags might say that the Founding Fathers INTENDED for governing bodies to NOT act UNLESS they have… wait for it… some level of consensus…

    The Founding Fathers may well have NOT been fans of “whiplash’ EOs and such between alternating party takeovers.

    Finally, the Va GA is not going much different than the US Congress.

    You can bet your boots that the VA GOP is working overtime to figure out which Senate Dem seats are possible to turn….or get Chapman or Morrissey to switch.. The “wheels” are turning…..

      The Petersburg casino may make it after all.

      The Founding Fathers did not even anticipate the two party system and were shocked when it emerged. They were Lockeans and thought reasonable people would always agree. At least we do not have 10 parties, or maybe that would be better. Diffuse the hatred.

      So what happens to the hundreds of bills now staggering through the republican GA? Death by Senate?

    There is profit to be had in confusion.

    And this morning’s RTD has the game over. Fun story while it lasted. No popcorn. A belly bumping moment. Old Capitol Hands remember the story.

      Only people who have been around as long as have will get your reference to a “belly bumping moment”!
