OHIO SENATE PASSES SCR13

The Ohio Senate on Tuesday passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 on state sovereignty, by a straight party-line vote of 19-12 (see Senate Journal beginning at the bottom of p. 2068), with two absences. The resolution now goes to the Ohio House, where it will face an uphill battle in the face of Speaker Budish's determination not to allow consideration of any resolution that challenges federal authority.

partyline vote... why couldn't they follow the lead of the D's in the Michigan senate?
