It was never about so-called LGBT “rights”, it was about getting McCrory, led by the White House.<\/p>\n
The Charlotte City Council has voted unanimously to repeal the ordinance to override state law. It was done as a deal with McCrory in exchange for a repeal of HB2. You can bet the day after HB2 is repealed, the Charlotte City Council will reinstate their ordinance.<\/p>\n
There is a problem with this compromise, though. Governor McCrory has called the Legislature back into special session on Wednesday (Christmas is Sunday). Back when HB2 was being considered, McCrory refused to call the legislature into session. The leaders of the legislature have the power to call themselves into session. McCrory did not write HB2, but he did sign it. If he had vetoed it, he would have been overriden – again.<\/p>\n
Nothing has changed – McCrory paid the price for HB2, but he does not control the Legislsture. He can’t bind them to a deal. The legislature could do a number of different things – not show up with a quorum, show up and immediately adjourn, show up and vote down the repeal of HB2. This was not the thing to do as your last act as governor. Cooper can handle it next year.<\/p>\n
The special session is just to “discuss” the repeal. If the Legislature does not repeal HB2 by December 31st, the Council repeal of the ordinance vaporizes.<\/p>\n
