Armed and dangerous at the General Assembly

I just noticed another bad Republican idea worth pointing out:

It is rare that the inside dealings of the General Assembly, its rules and its operating procedures rise to the level that they should concern the general public. But a bill that appears to be well-greased is scary in its implications.

The bill would give both the House speaker and the Senate president pro tem authority to individually exempt any elected officer of either chamber from any rule of the Legislative Services Commission, the body of lawmakers that controls how the legislature operates, according to the Insider newsletter.
