Remember 2015: The GOP-controlled House unilaterally adjourned 3 days early over a Medicaid expansion-related impasse. Senate Democrats went to the Supreme Court to get them back. They lost.

Now: @GovRonDeSantis hints he will call Special Session if Senate doesn't finish review of his suspensions of Broward Sheriff Scott Israel, Okaloosa School Sup't Mary Beth Jackson by Sine Die next Friday.

@GovRonDeSantis It's clear the Senate won't have time to resolve both cases; the chamber is constitutionally charged with reviewing executive suspensions and either removing or reinstating.

@GovRonDeSantis Senate President @BillGalvano threw a flag later in the day, saying only the Senate can reconvene itself in Special Session - and suggested they wouldn't be doing that any time soon.

@GovRonDeSantis @BillGalvano What's the state Constitution say? Two things, neither of which directly trump the other on a plain reading.

@GovRonDeSantis @BillGalvano So, was @GovRonDeSantis bluffing, or will he call the @FLSenate back after May 3?
Will the Senate obey the call, or challenge the Governor's authority in @flcourts?
Stay tuned...
