Black Caucus member Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, is calling out senators who are holding up bills hundreds of bills including the General Fund with a filibuster.
Holmes, who has been in the Legislature for 34 years, said that the black senators who represent Macon, Greene and Montgomery counties (the core folks leading the filibuster) could expect Republicans to unseat them in the 2010 elections if they continue.
He also predicted that any white senators helping them keep the filibuster alive can expect to turn their seats over to someone else during the next election cycle.
Why? Because he's going to come to their districts and help campaign against them.
Ironically enough, Holmes' remarks came during the House's own slowdown with members filibustering a bill that would force 44 companies that are not based in the state to pay Alabama corporate income taxes.
