    WOW! 26 to 4 looks veto-proof to me.

    WOO HOO. I'm praying (with tons of others) that this has a positive effect in CA.

    NJ is next. Watch for it.

    The word verification is "Whoozi".

    Indeed!

    And now the Senate passed the bill a second time by voice vote so it goes over to the House.
