CARSON CITY — That’s all, folks!

The Senate has stopped all action, the hour of 1 a.m. having arrived. But over in the Assembly, action is proceeding, despite a clear and unambigious declaration in the state constitution that all actions taken after 1 a.m. are void.

We’re not clear as to what bills were passed after the witching hour-plus-one, but we are clear that everything done after the deadline isn’t valid.

Clearly, this was occasioned by the Senate’s last-minute wrangling with bills. But that can’t cure what’s going on here. A member of the capital press corps has counted seven bills approved after the deadline. Make that eight.

This is quite a spectacle, with lobbyists crowded into the back of the chamber, watching what clearly is an illegal procedure. And while some Republicans have ceased voting, nobody has mentioned the missed deadline.

It’s now 1:12 a.m., and Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley has appointed the usual sine die committees. A total of nine bills were approved after the deadline.

Please, God, don’t tell us the state Supreme Court is going to get involved again.
