Not a big fan of people chasing down Representatives and Senators asking questions.
You never really get an answer if they don't stop.
Here's pretty much what's going to happen in regards to Northam...
He's digging in his heels waiting on the media and the politicians that have called for his resignation to move onto the next "ERMAHGERD! TRUMP!" story. Which, with the SOTU tonight, likely won't be long in the making. Then he does one of the two:
A. Resigns quietly amid the latest hubbub over Trump (unlikely as he'd get a "pass" since "but TRUMP!")
B. Becomes so enchanted with the idea of proving how "not racist" he is he is willing to go along with anything that makes that case. I.E. a Virginia Legislature member proposes "I nominate the 3rd of July as official Kill Whitey Day and should be a holiday in the State of Virginia."
Northam: "I wholeheartedly support this piece of legislation and will provide a pardon for anyone that kills whitey on the 3rd of July!"
Okay, perhaps not that extreme, but desperate people will do desperate things in order to keep themselves in power.
He's gong to run to be the nominee for President for the democrat party, Governor is a democrat. Plus I can bet you Sanders had an opinion on Judge K, I bet when asked his old sorry ass didn't fake a phone callWhy would he have an opinion at this point? It's not like Fairfax is being rushed through a confirmation for a life time appointment.
Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring held an emergency closed -door meeting Wednesday morning with the legislative black caucus.
“It’s a mess,” said state Sen. Lionell Spruill (D-Chespeake) as he emerged from the attorney general’s office building shortly before 11 a.m. An aide stopped him from saying more.
Most if not all of the entire Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, stone faced, left Herring’s office at about 11:15 am and went directly into a meeting at the Capitol building. They said nothing and ignored a reporter who asked if they supported Herring.
Del. Lamont Bagby (D-Richmond), chairman of the caucus, looked sullen. Asked to explain what was what’s happening, Bagby said, “I imagine we’re not praying enough.”
The rushed session comes amid turmoil in the capital. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) has faced calls for his resignation since Friday, when he took responsibility for a photo on his 1984 medical school yearbook page featuring a photo of someone in blackface standing next to someone in Ku Klux Klan robes. The man who would succeed him, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D), denied allegations on Monday of a woman who said he sexually assaulted her in 2004.
Herring is third in line in succession under the Virginia state constitution.
