Members of the Senate Rules Committee were informed via email yesterday that gubernatorial appointees requiring Senate confirmation will not be considered by the committee or put up for a floor vote until further notice.

This reminds me of leftist students who “go on strike” when things aren’t going their way (typically over issue UNrelated to school, like a foreign war). “That’ll show him!” /s

Jerry Brown has time on his side and he knows how to win with it.

PS: Brown might be the only honest politician in Sacramento.
