Apparently, John Kerry and Mitt Romney are now serving in the Minnesota Senate.

Hours after the Senate amended the Vikings stadium bill to exclude language that would nullify a provision of the Minneapolis City Charter regarding a referendum for sports facilities to which the city would devote more than $10 million, the Senate has put the language back in, according to Patrick Kessler of WCCO-TV.

And so the endless process of adding amendments has now expanded to removing amendments.

Eventually, the Minnesota Senate will vote on the measure.
