Peachy-Sweet Democracy
This is really awesome! Just heard about it on the Al Franken show. The new Rethug "leadership" in the Georgia House of Representatives has passed a new rule which effectively gives the Speaker power to control and override any vote, on any committee, at any time! All he has to do is appoint special "hawks"--extra committee members who can "swoop down" on any committee and add their special "hawk" votes to the tally.
Nice going, Georgia! You've turned your state assembly into a one-man/one-party dictatorship! Granted, there is no doubt Christ personal approves and has blessed the whole endeavor--nay, commanded it--but still.
