Now that the dems are back, why not just vote on the original bill?
I think it has to go through the process, but even if the state supreme court votes against it, all the Governor has to do is, lock the doors, make sure the dems don't run away again, and vote. The court can't overturn it then; they are not supposed to legislate from the bench.
At 4:30pm on Friday afternoon post that there will be a special session to vote at 8:30 am on Monday morning. If the dems skip out over the weekend they were given over 48 hours notice - Problem solved !
