Wouldn't the fact that they are looking to use a tax to deter use of an item unconstitutional?

Oops. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Edited my last post. The magic number is 94. I'm falling asleep here.

 

[FNH High Power]

by my clocks, 3 minutes and counting......

 

[bnich82]

There are 144 Delegates. Two-thirds of that is 96.

Edit: I'm falling asleep at the computer. There are 141, so 94 are needed.

Sounds like they just missed the extension then

3 minutes, this deal is DONE.

 

[Dave]

adjourn at midnight, after that it's up to MoM

 

[PJDiesel]

Oh Christ, now it's going to be up to the Governor????

 

[Boondock Saint]

"Come midnight, we'll adjourn, then it'll be up to the Governor." Revenue package and gambling bill.

"He'll give us whatever charge he wants."

New bills, new readings. Essentially starting from scratch on these bills as we'd be in a special session at that point. Holy hell.

Remember that at 1159 and 1159 with 30 seconds is spoken for.

 

[Funbrit]

Up to the Governor! extend the session.

 

[randyho]

"It's gonna be up to the Governor" regarding extending the session or a special session.

Remember that at 1159 and 1159 with 30 seconds is spoken for.

lol forgot about those

 

[aberforth]

They are discussing the cost of premium cigars vs cheapos. (seriously)

Good, better that than guns. Hopefully they also talk alcohol and explosives before getting to firearms (in that order of course).

Also question for procedure wonks: is a motion to extend session privileged? Or do they phrase it as "set the time for adjournment" so it's uninterruptible?

"@MDhouseGOP

House pushing through votes, Speaker not recognizing members to speak...complete chaos on House floor."
