Senate Majority Leader David Senjem thinks things are getting too tense in Saint Paul:

“It’s time to put the spears down,” said Senjem.

Err… Senator Senjem? Aren’t you the one who started the legislative session with an unprecedented attack on the minority party? Aren’t you the one who just led your party in rejecting one of the Governor’s nominees? And that was in the first two weeks of the session.

So those actions were okay, but the Governor vetoing your effort to strip consumer protections is unacceptable? If that’s what you mean, you really should have clarified your statement: 

“It’s time [for the DFL] to put the spears down,” said Senjem.

I suspect that’s what you really meant — it’s fine for the GOP to play rough, but the DFL should absolutely not reciprocate in any way. That sounds perfectly reasonable.
