Exceptionally interesting:
Republicans appear to have retaken control of the state Senate this afternoon after two dissident Democrats crossed the aisle in a parliamentary coup.
“An historic change in leadership is taking place at this moment and a new bipartisan, coalition is being established that is bringing real reform to the Senate RIGHT NOW,” according to a news advisory sent out by the GOP.
The Associated Press reported that two Democrats — Hiram Monserrate of Queens and Pedro Espada, Jr. of the Bronx — are poised to announce that they have decided to caucus with the GOP out of anger at Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith.
The flip gives Republicans a 32-30 edge in the chamber…
Democrats are naturally seeking to go to court over this – this in line with Democrat thinking that it is illegal for the GOP to be in power, I guess. Are we at the edge of a historic meltdown of the left in the United States?
Its happening in Europe, why not here?
