Like an itch you have to scratch even though you know it will only make it worse, I have posted quite a bit about the EFCA here, which goes against my original concept of only talking about California state law.

Well, I’m hereby declaring an EFCA embargo on this site. If EFCA passes and if it has some kind of impact on California law or practice, I’ll get back into it. Otherwise, I need to prevent mission creep and get a look at what’s going on in Sacramento.

Late update: Ha. Ha. Ha. Specter says ‘no’ of EFCA. I can now extend this embargo to January 2011 unless/until we see a single Republican support EFCA. Did I mention that I F*$#^%$ TOLD YOU SO? Sorry. As far as I’m concerned the $10,000 a head “seminar” on legislation vetoed by Calivin Coolidge in Tahiti is still on, though. The writing was on the wall when the number of co-sponsors dropped significantly this Congress. Why? Because it had a real chance of passage, and that was always going to scare off up to 5 Democrats, but almost for sure Blanche Lincoln. So, even if Specter went for it, they were still one vote short. Of the other 2-4 remotely possible Republican votes, I haven’t heard a peep out of any of them. It’s breathtaking how the anti-EFCA forces used their own feigned ignorance of their own power and influence to actually create power and influence, and how the pro-EFCA forces used false certainty of their own power to diminish it.
