With legislative deadlines looming before the May 30 end of the session, Democrats could try to filibuster the sanctuary cities bill, but that could take down hundreds of other bills as well. Van de Putte said Democrats haven't talked about a filibuster. And she said Democrats aren't considering leaving the state to break a quorum like they did in 2003 to stop a congressional redistricting bill."

My support for Democrats - ANY Democrat - gets more eroded with each passing day. How the f***k do they not research or investigate, or READ every applicable regulation that may affect their legislation? It's the same effing story time after time: Republican lawmakers know or research all applicable laws in order to advance their agenda. I can only deduce that these Democratic lawmakers are mediocre. I see that they are all LAWYERS. First job of any attorney: Know the law in every possible applicable way. This is like the relief provided by Deferred Action that people are asking the government to grant: It has been in the books for DECADES as a "little known rule". It wouldn't be "little known" if mediocre attorneys would read and understand the application of this law. What a disservice to their constituents.
