The lawyers are standing down, mostly.
“Most of the cases have been rendered moot after the agreement reached yesterday and the resulting regular session of the Senate,” Austin Shafran, a spokesman for the State Senate Democrats, said.
There have been six lawsuits filed in connection with the now-resolved leadership struggle in the chamber (I detailed each one here), of which four are outstanding. Two of those dealt with bills that were passed early this morning; another dealt with how Democrat-designated Senate Secretary Angelo Aponte was conducting himself in the chamber. All are expected to be dropped or fizzle in some other legal way that I won’t pretend to understand.
