    .. with even odds that Sen. Baker will take the opportunity to share the latest tally of references to Senate cttee work in court judgments.

    Agreed with one add: after the House refuses, senators will vent their frustration in debate before not insisting on their changes.

    Prediction: the Senate will split the bill, the House will refuse to accept the split, the Senate will then pass the unified bill.

    You know, it would be interesting to see exactly how one would draft a standing order compelling a weekly prime ministerial appearance.

    Speaker is appointed to provide guidance to the chamber but also as an agent of the govt. Presents conflict to be resolved by the Chamber.

    I should note that, in general, I disapprove of speaker's rulings being overturned by majority vote, as it defeats the purpose of a speaker.

    I will probably NOT be reporting back on the outcome of this vote, however, as guys. I've been up and writing since 3am. I need off.

    One final Senate update for the day: Speaker Furey appears to be ruling Pratte's motion to split the budget bill out of order.
