Does The Senate Keep Its Word Or Not?

Word has it that Senator Delbert Scott is throwing a temper tantrum and has sent the Voter ID bill back to conference to have straight ticket voting added back to the bill.

Just ten days ago, on Jo Mannies blog, here' what Republicans had to say on that topic:

Neal English, chief of state for Senate President Pro Tem Michael
Gibbons, confirmed that his boss and Majority Leader Charlie Shields,
R-St. Joseph, had “given their word'’ not to target straight-ticket
voting in the voter ID bill.

When asked about the House action, English replied only, “Over in the Senate, we keep our word.'"

Apparently there is no one left in the GOP with any sense of honor.
