This isn’t an ‘absurd legal theory’ - it’s the plain reading of the text *and* the judgment of our independent legislative analysis department.

Folks - I don’t want *my party* to have this power. If we create this weapon, we all know that one day it will be regularly used. We can’t let that happen.

“Well Governor, I understand you’re opposed to this bill and you’d like to see some changes, but I think you also know we could just add a judicial nominee to the last page and that would settle things. So maybe you shouldn’t fight us too hard on this.”
