[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=takoma]Concerning the confusion about the amendment, I think the problem is the phrase "pass by", which I understand to mean "table", i.e. not consider. Using the word "pass" certainly invites confusion when in fact the vote defeated the amendment.[/quote] Turns out that you are correct. According to this page: http://legis.virginia.gov/1_cap_class/9-12/9_12_how_bills.html There are two types of "Pass by" actions and neither one means to "pass". Both basically mean to table. This is the first time I've encountered the term. I was just reading it as "pass". So, the bill is even more draconian than what I was giving it credit for being. [/quote] Thanks guys, this clears things up. *sigh*[/quote]
