With the House voting overwhelmingly to remove all but $39 million of the cuts meant to punish King Rod's political opponents (and consequently us little people), eyes turn to the Illinois Senate floor to see if any pair of the members have the guts to push Senate President Emil "Clown Prince" Jones to a voice vote on the House's override.
Clown Prince Jones has said he won't permit the override vote to hit the Senate floor, despite the Illinois Constitution requiring a voice vote upon the action of two Senators requesting such a vote.
Who will be filing the next lawsuit against whom?
