After calling for a special State Senate session starting tomorrow but didn't offer gay marriage legislation on the agenda, now Governor Paterson will ask the Senate to vote on the matter. Paterson also threatened the stalemate-gridlocked Senators, "If the senators do not cooperate with this order, I will convene a special session every day until they do. That includes Saturdays and Sundays. That includes July 4. There will be no excuses." The governor's strong words heartened the Daily News' Mike Lupica, though he adds, "As always, it just seems like too little too late for him, after a year when he has come up no bigger and no better than the state senators he is threatening with summer school now." Of course, the Times points out that while Paterson can call the special session, the Senate isn't compelled to actually, you know, vote on it. And the Post's Fred Dicker hears from both sides: "'How does someone who is not a party to a dispute think he can pick mediators and impose them without even checking with the disputants?' asked a top Democrat who has been trying to settle the struggle. A spokesman for Republican Senate leader Dean Skelos said, 'This is total bulls---, and we're not buying it.'"
