SB 113, the bill to move up California’s Presidential Primary from June to February, flies through the Senate today, 31-5.  All "no" votes were by Republicans.  The bill was then hurried to the Assembly Rules Committee today, where they met off our floor during session.  It then passed out of the Rules Committee [over Republican objections on process, the bill hasn’t been in print 30 days]   I half-expected a bunch of rule waivers to bring it to our floor today but that didn’t happen, it would take 60 floor votes to waive the "30 days in print" rule.  We’ll see what they try Friday.   Amazing how quick a bill can move sometimes, when the Legislature is "motivated"….
