Yep. Thought it was clear we were only worried about the house today but I could have qualified that better

Ahh, I had gotten info of senate rules committee meeting at 315, so I was clarifying. My bad.
Expected to come out of senate committee today and get to senate floor today. Might be some fireworks. Hearing the yesses picked up a vote today in Rita parks.

Oh wow. I wasn't expecting the senate to move so quickly. Awesome update, thanks!

Senate Committee passed it.
Now for the senate floor.

Chris McDaniel with the argument that it's a slippery slope to force a senator to do their job as his reasoning for voting against the resolution. Totally not a racist guys.

Because of course, lol.

Historic day for MS, indeed, and long past due. Glad this is finally happening.

Is there anything left to do? Is this officially official? Does Tate have to sign something? Is there absolutely no chance the current flag will stay?
-
To clear up any confusion, today's voting was to only change the rule to allow a late bill to be introduced after the deadline. Tomorrow, the bill itself be drafted and then voted on by both the House and Senate, although it will only need majority and not 2/3 like today. Technically it could still fail, but I don't see that happening. And Tate has already said he would sign it if it reached his desk. Today was the hard part, and it was a good day.
All Aboard and Soft Landings!

We're gonna rename Forrest County Leningrad County just for you.

The only hang up going forward will be the challenge in the courts come tuesday morning (or whenever tate / leg get done doing what they doing)
Believe me this will be challenged up to the SCOTUS if need be.
I do wonder what the legal ruling will be since the leg had punted it to the people in 2001. Someone more well versed in law / politics than me could probably explain it better, but I'm not sure how it will hold up in court that the leg are voting something that they had previously left up to the people. It could be challenged and they can't just eliminate it since the people voted to keep it.

It's going to be Obama county

So if Tate changes his mind (or has it changed for him) and vetoes it there would still be a need for the 2/3 votes to override the veto right?
I just hate having to rely on the word of a politician. I'm ready for it to be completely over.
