Senate Judiciary Committee Stalls on Petition for Removal by Address

With the petition having been read into the Ky Senate floor record on January 4th 2010, plenty of orientation time has elapsed for the SJC to get it's bearings on setting up a proper process and moving forward, but that is hardly the case. The Petitioner filed a motion with the Senate Clerk on February 2 to be heard on 2-3 before the SJC right after the legislative business. The motion sought the creation of the "Senate Removal Committee, call for a response from the respondent, and to number the Petition as SA1.
On Thursday February 3rd Chariman of the SJC Jenson, denied calling the motion to order for discussion and vote. The appearance of 1st amendment violations has happened.


Senate president David Williams was also given a copy of the motion, personally delivered, and still no word.


A re-notice of hearing for the next committee meeting Feb 10 will be filed.
