Republican delegates offered ten amendments to the Maryland Police Accountability Act of 2021 at this morning’s floor session.

All failed on votes that were overwhelmingly based on party affiliation.

If you’re a Republican, the place to get an amendment adopted is when the committee is considering a bill.

The unwritten rule of the Democratic majority is to defer to the work product of the committee.

Your colleagues support the legislation that you and your committee have reported to the full body.

You do the same for them.

However, some of the amendments that failed on the floor may reappear in Republicans’ campaign literature next year.
