					<description>[...] If Democrat Tom Butler leaves the Senate minority coalition caucus and joins the Democratic majority caucus in the Senate, the Democrats would have 21 votes without Senate District 35. If that were the case, Riley might be more amenable to appointing Brooks to the bench. Losing the 14th vote in the minority coalition caucus would not be nearly as painful as losing the 15th.

					<description>I noticed that the one of the first things McClain did when he was switching sides back to the majority was to introduce legislation that has the citizens pay for the Senators insurance.  I couldn't think of a better way for him to ingratiate himself with the Democratic majority than to find a way to put a little more money in their pockets.</description>
