;___;

 

[Easy_D]

Dat shouting.

 

[royalan]

What are they doing?

 

[Black Mamba]

Why is there a roll call? I have no idea what is happening.

 

[Velcro Fly]

just heard a random scream during the roll call

 

[sangreal]

Chair's just a meat puppet :lol Word for word, repeated the White Suit Lady.

She is the parliamentarian, responsible for making sure he follows the rules. She is terrible at her job

 

[Dartastic]

This is disgusting...if they were just going to ignore parliamentary rules in the final hour, why even put Davis through that?

Fuck your roll call

.

 

[helloresolven]

This is where gallery goes mental.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Well, good try Senator Davis and Senator Watson

 

[Smiley90]

He didn't yield, wtf is this shit

edit; MORE INQUIRIES

 

[Spring-Loaded]

I don't understand how they can just arbitrarily make up and forgo rules with no consequence.

It kind of appropriate, actually.

 

[mackaveli]

What if the audience star chanting bull shit.

Can that delay it?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Calling the roll now...and there's still too much time on the clock.

And they just turned the sound off again. And on again.

 

[phosphor112]

Yes, more rulebook.

 

[perfectchaos007]

You live in Texas, do you not? I lived for 14 years in Dallas, and no one there refers to themselves as "East Texas".

Which is why I said DFW.


Neither does anyone in Houston.


East Texas doesn't start until Beaumont down here.

Here's my interpretation of where "East Texas" is. Does this representation please the court?

 

[sangreal]

need a point of order, they take much longer to resolve

 

[Smiley90]

YES YOU SHORT ROUND WOMAN I LIKE YOU

 

[ambientmystic]

Republicans be trolling letting that Dem State Senator talk for as long as she did....

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh shit, she's bringing out that rulebook

 

[mackaveli]

How come the Chair never responds with rule numbers.

I just do whatever I want.

 

[Incognito]

Sen. Duncan is slime. Didn't want to recognize Democrats before roll call vote.

 

[antonz]

She wasn't recognized so her motion isn't valid. Grasping at straws

 

[Velcro Fly]

this is like shane battier stepping up and draining a few 3s in the 4th quarter of a close game.

random people stepping up to keep talking to midnight.

 

[JABEE]

Edit: What does this mean?

 

[stktt]

Oh shit, she's bringing out that rulebook

Like that makes a difference at this point.

 

[Dartastic]

SHE'S CALLING HIM OUT.

 

[Smiley90]

"You ignored me earlier, shut up, I should have precedence"

THE CROWD GOES WILD

 

[Devolution]

Dude don't give a fuck about the rules.

 

[LiK]

HAHAHAHA, bullshit

 

[massoluk]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF

 

[Officerrob]

WOW, this is some amazing bullshit

 

[Wario64]

I dont know what is even going on

 

[Frankenstrat]

NOT CLEARLY HEARD

WHAT A LOAD

 

[Dommo]

So where is Wendy Davis? For the first hour I was watching I thought it was the brunette in white standing up. So... have I not seen her at all yet?

 

[aceface]

Wouldn't adjourning now be a good thing?

 

[Alexlf]

RECOGNIZED

 

[Chris R]

Gallery is about to get thrown out I think...

 

[DomZ]

This is intense! Some amazing bullshit going on.

 

[phosphor112]

I want to take a fucking sledge hammer to this guys sternum.

 

[B-Dubs]

She wasn't recognized so her motion isn't valid. Grasping at straws

The chair is recognizing people at random, even when they shouldn't be. The guy had just thrown the rulebook out for this whole last hour or so.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The gallery is unruly.

This is better than that Lincoln movie was.

Spoiler

Well, not really.

 

[Black Mamba]

"not clearly heard." What a fucking douche.

 

[Messypandas]

Throwing down dem gauntlets

 

[Incognito]

He cut off their mics before roll call vote.

@cltomlinson: Sen, Bob Duncan just steamrolled Dems, ignoring their calls to speak, movements to adjourn, he cut their mics #txlege #sb5

 

[Mercury Fred]

oh my god!

 

[Clydefrog]

holy shit.

 

[kingkitty]

rules smules

 

[Brawndo Addict]

Gallery is about to get thrown out I think...

It's getting close enough that they might want to cause a ruckus to delay. It could come down to minutes.

 

[Devolution]

So where is Wendy Davis? For the first hour I thought it was the brunette in white standing up. So... have I not seen her at all yet?

They shut her own and the dems are bringing up procedural rules.

 

[bonercop]

fuck these guys. they're downright villains
