And the rampant filibustering by the GOP on issues like DADT repeal, and healthcare reform didn’t feel like a an attempt to subvert an election to you?

There is a distinction between real filibustering and legislators leaving the state.

The filibuster is an integral part of business as usual (for better or worse).

What these state legislators have done is different. They are precluding state business from being done.

That’s why I have some concerns. You can be sure GOP legislators will do the same somewhere else at some other time. The behavior will escalate.

It always does.
