It’s sorta inhumane how frequently this bill is brought back to life, and then sanctimoniously killed.  The AJC reports this morning that Senate Bill 10 may be dead after the Senate Rules Committee decided not to move it to the floor for a vote.  Why?

….Republicans held a caucus vote to see where senators stood on the issue, and the bill failed to gain support, so Senate leadership decided to not bring it forward for a vote.

“Having a caucus vote determining what bills come the floor and what bills do not actually to my knowledge has not been done in the past. So this is a little bit of a change in the procedure with the Senate, and the minority party is pretty much shut out of the process,” [Lt. Gov. Casey] Cagle said.

Over on Fresh Loaf, Thomas Wheatley offers this aside…

(Oh, and Christian conservatives shouldn’t get all the blame for this foul-up. Word is that some senators with ambitions for higher office refused to support the measure. While it the measure was popular in their own districts, they feared a “yes” vote would bite them in the behind when they eventually ran statewide.)
