Seems to me it would be far better to have two regular sessions in a year spaced so that no pressing matter could be delayed longer than a few months.<br /><br />Ahh, you maverick-y AKns, you! :)Ennealogichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700675493688430474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084784365151727367.post-22585326353862301902009-07-27T06:17:21.677-08:002009-07-27T06:17:21.677-08:00I do remember.

"What if they serve for months and months and then are rejected by the legislature?" -- the legal implications are mind boggling.<br /><br />Agreed about 2010. Then again, I'm someone who thinks there should be a mandatory two term limit imposed upon all elected offices.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-LazLazarhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385885201009012907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084784365151727367.post-82198014833900633252009-07-26T23:17:41.169-08:002009-07-26T23:17:41.169-08:00Remember when WAR was hangin' out in the AG...Remember when WAR was hangin' out in the AG's office and even using the stationary while they were still arguing his confirmation?<br /><br />Could be the same scenario, just a longer timeframe. This will be an interesting situation to keep an eye on.<br /><br />I do think you are right on regarding the "palin" infiltration of AK Gov. Probably much worse than we ever thought. Regardless of how Parnell performs we may need a thorough cleaning and regime change in the 2010 election, just to make certain that all corners of govt have been swept and sanitized, ie, leave no palinbots behind, not a single one.<br /><br />Interesting write up, thanks!AKPetMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393010346244038373noreply@blogger.com
