Right now, Republicans have veto-proof supermajorities in both houses of the legislature.<br /> <br />The state legislature is beginning a special lame duck session at the end of the week, and there are persistent rumors that they are going to add two seats to the state Supreme Court so that McCrory can appoint two Republican judges to make it 5-4 Republican-Democrat.<br /> <br />Thus I wonder if conservatives in North Carolina (read: Art Pope) convinced McCrory to fall on his sword so that the GOP can get on with the business of locking up the Supreme Court and protecting their legislative maps.<br /> <br />I don't expect a lot from Roy Cooper. That's not a knock on Cooper; he's very sharp and has been a very good Attorney General. Rather, McCrory's recount demands have poisoned the well against Cooper in the minds of a decent number of people; I've seen NC friends on Facebook talk since the election about how -Cooper- was trying to steal the election from McCrory. And he's going to be facing a hostile legislature that can override every one of his vetoes. There will be people who voted for Cooper who will be disappointed that Cooper won't be able to repeal HB2, the trans bathroom bill, because of the legislative situation he faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-30087792770933102142016-12-06T07:57:26.740-09:002016-12-06T07:57:26.740-09:00Exactly!Exactly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-5271919151699726302016-12-06T07:56:14.600-09:002016-12-06T07:56:14.600-09:00no problem with voter fraud in nc but there have b...no problem with voter fraud in nc but there have been huge problems with mccrory the last four years. nc was doing well before he was elected, and since then it has been nothing but controversy, exaggerated accomplishments, backroom deals, a horrible legislature. unforunaely, we are still stuck with phil berger and tim moore, and that will hurt our state.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162309073437448034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-985831582022933982016-12-06T06:36:25.189-09:002016-12-06T06:36:25.189-09:00The Republicans still have enough votes in the leg...The Republicans still have enough votes in the legislature to over ride any vet's to push through crap legislation.
