I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences, regardless of how righteous and well-intended those actions may be.” His reasoning makes sense at least. Didn’t michigan or Wisconsin do the same thing? It was clear a Democrat was gonna take over for a republican as governor, so they quickly passed a bunch of bills stepping power from the governor.

I have no idea what the red line is for “leftists” defending this guy both as governor and a presidential candidate.

His official explanation: “While I share the author’s views on the importance of protecting these important healthcare services, extradition is an exclusively executive function. When discretionary, that discretion is appropriately placed with the Governor. I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences, regardless of how righteous and well-intended those actions may be.” He doesn’t want to set the precedent that such actions can be mandated in advance by an outgoing administration.

Only way this makes sense if he takes health care out of it and specifically frames it as “You don’t get to constrain the powers of the governor.” I can also see a flaw in the law… what is some state wants to extradite someone for medical malpractice? “Oh, nope! They do gender affirming care! Doctor Mengele is now safe from extradition!” Either way, it will be fascinating watching him try to weasel ius way through the primaries on this.

I’ve never done lesser evil voting and I’m certainly not gonna start of this bastard gets the nom. Been voting for the leftmost candidate running and that includes third parties. Not like it matters anyway since I live in a deep red state.

I suspect that earlier in his governorship he was willing to go along more with the Democratic legislature because he knew it would not risk his re-election. Now that he has his eyes on the presidency he is going straight down the middle, which these days is basically the Right.

Abortion Coalition for Telemedicine, the lead sponsor of the bill, noted 18 governors have “signed identical provisions into law without fanfare” DNC voters when they let this guy through and lose again:
