They didn’t usurp the legislation they forgot to have a second hearing to solidify the motion. They did this for the 2019 election

Which under the same technicality would be unconstitutional

But no one said anything back then

It didn't follow the state constitutional procedures at all and that is the basis for this lawsuit

Then they still could have had an other hearing, which is just voting on it again and it’s like they just forgot

If it's affirmed that this "law" is unconstitutional then all the votes are legally moot yeah? Since they were under an illegal "law"

@james j to do it legally they would have had to had a constitutional amendment

That would have had to have been voted on

Right which is done by a simple vote they forgot to do

By the people

No by the legislators

The people had nothing to do with it

This was a in-house procedural error

Rekita actually explains this pretty well

In fact I believe it is we PA republicans that spearheaded the change. Had the first hearing to amend and forgot to have the second

I could possibly be incorrect

Idk

Majority vote by members of both the PA House of Reps and Senate in two consecutive legislative sessions, then published for 3 months in two newspapers in every county, and finally submitted to qualified electors as a ballot question in the next general election and approved by the majority of those voting on the amendment.

Yeah they just forgot to hold the 1 of 2 hearing to vote

It wasn't they forgot, it was that Gov. Wolf rammed through the changes before the second hearing. I think it was even before the first actually

@james j is this not similar to I forgot Jews and Muslims fight like cats and dogs?

Great people always seem to make stupid mistakes

...

This was back in 2019 before the pandemic there was no rush @DeathRhodes666 this is a 2019 case

No @busillis this is like someone forget to sign the last page of a large contract

Again it is ? Really idk.

Yeah a procedural error that existed in 2019 and then never got addressed

Please forgive my cynicism.

I’ll have to watch the video again

However it comes across as the legislators not being diligent

And just not holding the silly hearing to vote

That ship has sailed? At this point.

Yeah

No one said anything back in the primaries when we were still in the procedural error

No votes will get thrown out for the legislators just not finishing a process they started

Do you happen to have a link handy to the Ruling, by chance? I can look it up, of course. Just being lazy... 😄

I don't think the link to the ruling actually exist...looked last night

Perhaps now

If anyone finds it please post
