Unless these senators physically get up and leave the state to runaway from voting on this, I don't see an issue with it. Part of the legislative procedure is for controlling parties on committees to allow or disallow bills to pass through. That is the way we work in this country.

Passing like legislation now is inviting law suits that the state will have to use state funds to defend. In a time where states are struggling with buget short-falls, proposing such legislation is irresponsible. No wonder the VA state legislature oversight committee refused to consider such a proposal at this time.
