A resolution to honor Hedy Weinburg of the ACLU was removed from the regular calender last night. After it sailed through the senate on consent calendar house Republican legislators noticed and bumped her off the house consent requiring a regular up or down vote as single a piece of legislation on its own instead as part of a pack of resolutions.
Republicans were unified against it. Word on the hill was that with the added attention, and the abuse many took for supporting the Michael Jackson fiasco, less then 20 democrats were willing to publicly support her with an up or down vote.
