Background: One senator exclaimed, "Duh!"
"You're not going home. You're not getting paid. And you're not going to disrespect the people of the state of New York any longer."
Leadership is still a puzzle and the Senate, once derided as one-half of the nation's most dysfunctional legislature, is still idling in neutral.
"Nobody is proud over what has happened over the last couple of weeks," said Sen. Malcolm Smith, who brought the Democrats into the majority on a promise of reforming government, only to lose his leadership post in the power grab. "I'm not even going to debate whether the means justify the end."

The state Senate plans to hold its first full session in nearly three weeks after Gov. David Paterson threatened to take lawmakers to court to get them back to work amid the chamber's ongoing power struggle.
Late Wednesday night, Paterson issued a statement saying there was no need to seek a court order to get senators back to work in another special session Thursday.
The governor's statement was released after Senate's Democratic conference and the Republican-dominated coalition had agreed to meet jointly Thursday afternoon in what would be the chamber's first full session in 20 days.
The Senate has been deadlocked since all 30 Republicans and two dissident Democrats mounted a June 8 overthrow of the Democratic conference.

true, I only tossed in H$100 on this (at 3%) today when I saw this, but I don't see why I shouldn't gain... I am taking the risk.

ALBANY - Assembly Democrats have refused to accept more than 100 bills that Senate Democrats insist they legally passed on Tuesday in a session that Republicans say was illegal in the first place.
Gov. David Paterson has already said he will not sign the bills if sent to him, but the Assembly has the ability to block them from even being transmitted to his office � saving him some political grief.
At issue are about 125 bills Senate Democrats say were legally approved Tuesday when a Republican senator, cutting through the back of the chamber on a short-cut to get a Coke, suddenly provided the quorum they have been missing for three weeks to vote on legislation. Democrats say a member only has to be spotted in the chamber to be counted as present.
Republicans insist the Democrats are playing fast and loose with the rules. The senator, Frank Padavan of Queens, assured Paterson that he was not in the chamber to provide a quorum so the bills could be voted on.
