the same way it ended the last session - divided along party lines
over a Republican senator punching a Democratic senator.
On the last day of the 2007 session, June 7, Sen. Charles
Bishop, R-Jasper, hit Sen. Lowell Barron, D-Fyffe, in the head. On
the opening day of the 2008 session Tuesday, the Senate split along
party lines in passing a resolution providing that by majority
vote, the Senate can require security to escort senators who
resorts to violence in the future.
Also, the Democrat-controlled panel that determines senators'
committee assignments took Bishop off of several Senate committees,
including the General Fund budget committee.
