So popcorn worthy. Rep. Montgomery said that no one came and spoke to him about the amendment until AFTER they did it. *tsk, tsk* How are you going to run roughshod over your OWN party members. I've never seen Republicans do that around here. The last person to defect in the TN Republican party was when Kent Williams sided with Democrats to elect himself as speaker. That didn't last very long. LOL
