Republicans get a Supermajority in Louisiana state legislature, Dem switches Parties.

[WarriorRob]

For the first time in the state’s history, Republicans have a supermajority in Louisiana. Republicans now have a 70-vote supermajority and can override a veto by the state’s Democrat governor John Bel Edwards.
House Majority Leader Blake Miguez said of the shift, “Today marks a pivotal moment for the Louisiana Legislature, as it has reached a supermajority for the first time in modern history. Representative Thompson’s decision to change parties after 48 years sheds light on the evolving nature of political affiliations and highlights the importance of this milestone for the legislature.”


With this change, there are now 18 states nationwide with veto-proof majorities in their state legislatures.


Looks like some good news for a change

But will they go ape-shit crazy going over the far-right side of the cliff... Republicans are as guilty as the Democrats of pushing the envelope too far when they have the power to do so.
