Rick Scott apparently realized he was losing this fight, and decided on a quiet retreat. (via MaddowBlog)
The new edits suggest that Scott now realizes he was losing the fight and it was time to retreat.settle the matter. For one thing, it’s quite likely that a whole lot of Republicans are going to ask Scott, “You couldn’t have listened to our concerns and done this last year? You had to hand Democrats a piñata for 12 months?”
For another, the fact that Scott now supports exceptions for “essential services” is notable, but it raises related questions. National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru, for example, that under the GOP senator’s vision, everything from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to federal minimum wage laws to laws against child pornography would all be scheduled to disappear every five years unless Congress reapproved them.
All of which creates a fairly obvious question for Scott: Are there any other edits you’d like to make, Senator?
