Reply to Russian if you're talking to him. Apparently you also don't know how a message board works either.

Then don't comment on it if you can't back it up.

Is that a new board rule, or did you just make that up?
The reason I didn't want to debate you is because I knew it would be silly to do so, and you are proving me right.

And just to educate everyone, "withdrawn" and "hold" aren't even legislative tools. Bills can be deferred and tabled. Tabled means that no vote shall be taken on that motion. Deferred is, per the LA Legislature glossary: "A legislative instrument scheduled for hearing by a committee may be voluntarily deferred upon the request of the author or member handling the instrument. An instrument voluntarily deferred without objection may be rescheduled for committee hearing." So this entire argument is totally ridiculous. In most cases, when the term "withdrawn" is used, it means deferred because the bill has not been motioned to put it to a vote yet. Deferring a bill does not automatically kill it indefinitely

So neither "withdrawn" or "hold" are viable terms in this discussion.

Thank you for clarifying that. So if White's bill was neither "withdrawn" or put on "hold"; then it seems Russian was wrong. After all it was he that brought up the two terms.

Good post Mick; you clarified the terminology and settled the argument at the same time.
