their 62 votes, and 62 votes is enough to pass it but not nearly enough for it to go into effect immediately. but regardless, they just attached immediate effect to it anyway. look, it s in the record. representative stamas moved the bill be given immediate effect. 2/3 of the members serving voted therefore. that did not happen. i do not see how that could be true. republicans don t have a 2/3 majority and democrats voted against the bill. so you re telling me that a dozen democrats voted against this bill they hated, they voted against it and then once it passed anyway over their objections they decided, oh, well, it passed, i guess i ll vote to put this thing in effect immediately. seriously? if you look at the numbers you need for immediate effect in michigan and the numbers republicans actually have, it does not seem possible that the emergency manager law or maybe any of these laws passed in the way republicans are saying that they did. it didn t happen that way.

speaker recognizes majority floor leader stamas. i ask for the majority 26 members the speaker the majority floor leader has requested a record roll call vote. all those in favor, please rise i m sorry the majority floor leader has requested immediate effect. all those in favor, please rise. immediate effect is ordered. wait, that was the count. depending on how you time this, the republican speaker let the voting go on for i think three seconds before he gavels in his party s success. what he is purporting to have done there is counting at least 73 votes in favor of the motion in a blink. in a snap. one, two, three 73. like he s a kid speed counting for hide and seek. all of those in favor please rise. immediate effect is ordered.
role call votes to see whether republicans have this 2/3 majority they claim. they re demanding an actual count to see if they have all 73 votes that the republicans would need for these laws to go into immediate effect. this is the picture of the democrats demanding a vote like that last week. demanding it and not getting it. we asked the michigan democrats if they could provide us with an example of the way that republicans are running the house. saying that they ve got a 2/3 majority when it seems impossible that they do. and they sent over this clip from last month. this is amazing. what s happening here, the context here is that republicans have just passed a measure making it harder to get a repeal on the ballot, to get a citizen s repeal on the ballot. michigan democrats want to repeal that emergency manager law, right. republicans are trying to unilaterally change garn law to make it harder to repeal it. and naturally, they want that to take effect right away. watch. speaker
