So, over the weekend, the Democratic leadership of the Massachusetts legislature, including Speaker Bob DeLeo and Senate President Stan Rosenberg, refused to allow a vote on a bill that would strengthen due process in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (it would have limited the ability of the Attorney General to potentially outlaw guns on a whim).
By blocking debate on this measure, Speaker DeLeo and Senator Rosenberg were able to keep their fellow Democrats from being on the record about whether they support increased executive powers for the Attorney General.
