Looks like it may have been a case of "last straw". Had to look it up. According to WP article, he was let go from his paid position, but told he called remain affiliated w/AEI. Frankly, in his case, it might be just as well. Now he's freer to say to find an outfit more in keeping w/his views and doesn't have to worry about censoring himself. Guess they handed him an opportunit of sorts.

However, read his "Waterloo" article and think he was overstating it a bit. Reps were at a serious disadvantage in terms of numbers. I think even several conservative pundits felt reasonably certain that something was going to pass, and the dems were going to do it as soon as they had the #s. However, the proponents of the bill shouldn't be too quick to celebrate till the courts (essentially the SC) come down on their side in the end. Ain't nothing like having the "fat lady sing" to signify victory/defeat/ending/etc..
