Senate Override
The TN Senate voted to override the Governor’s Veto by 21-9. The governor can’t fulfill his promise to sign the bill so the legislature did it for him.
A civil rights victory.
Jackson read a list of lots of police chiefs who support the bill. Odd. The governor and the press kept telling us they oppose it? Jackson did a good job but yammered for too long.
Goes into effect July 14.
Update: ACK has more.
On a personal note, I’d like to say to Jimmy Naifeh: haha!
