[Spring-Loaded]

They cut the sound, but I can still hear cheering

 

[Enron]

Can someone tell me who the woman standing to the President's left is and why is she telling him what to say?

She's the Senate Parliamentarian. It's her job to interpret/know the senate rules and advise the Chair

 

[Mabef]

Wtf they can't vote through this shit

 

[Mercury Fred]

She asked what is takes for a female senator to have her voice recognized over a male peer.

WOW

Spittin fiyah!!!!

 

[B-Dubs]

Are they asking to have the gallery cleared?

Dunno, but they just cut the mics and called for the vote before the rollcall was ended.

 

[Alexlf]

Only 12 minuets left!

 

[Mully]

Basically what does a female senator have to do to be heard among or above her male colleagues?

I said goddamn.

 

[Sub_Level]

That was just like E3.

[Lonestar]

heard a "Call for vote"

They'll do that over the noise.

 

[Officerrob]

They are going to steamroll this through

 

[Zebra]

Holy shit this is amazing

 

[raphanum]

She asked what is takes for a female senator to have her voice recognized over a male peer.

TAKE COVER!

 

[sangreal]

such bullshit

was hoping they'd at least waste time clearing the gallery

 

[bonercop]

13 MINUTES LEFT

 

[Lambtron]

Man fuckin' down. She got him.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

And they just cut the sound again as the gallery are now successfully disrupting proceedings.

This shit is unbelievable. Democracy is normally not this entertaining.

 

[helloresolven]

Audio back; If they actually think they are going to get order from the gallery... laughable.

 

[hom3land]

should have saved the social disobedience until the last few minutes.

 

[MisterSamMan]

This is exciting! Come on just a few more minutes!

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Vote called

Bill will pass

well, hopefully SC brings better news

 

[mre]

Van de Putte is voting for the bill in order to be able to move for a reconsideration.

 

[Satch]

"At what point must a female senator raise her hand or her voice to be recognized over her male colleagues in the room?"

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

 

[Mully]

Someone should start a USA chant.

 

[RC]

That was same fantastic ownage.

 

[Chris R]

Like anyone thought this wasn't going to be the outcome in the end.

Can't wait to see what the supreme court says about this in 5 years.

 

[Ceej]

So are they voting on the bill itself now or a secondary procedural matter prior to the main vote?

 

[speculawyer]

Did she vote yes on the motion so that she could then get a recount?

 

[Black Mamba]

They cut the mikes out of all democrats. What a fucking joke. This shit shouldn't be legal.

Why doesn't a Dem just rip the roll call paper and mike away? fuck it, rules don't matter.

 

[LiK]

Fuck off mr. President

 

[Smiley90]

"Suspend the roll call until we get order"

Yeah like that's gonna stop them from cheering!

 

[B-Dubs]

12 minutes....I want to believe so badly...so fucking badly...

 

[massoluk]

Fuck that, don't stop it. Don't believe their lies.

 

[ezekial45]

What did she say? I missed it.

"At what point must a female Senator raise her hand or her voice in order to be recognised over her male colleages in the room?"

 

[phosphor112]

Basically what does a female senator have to do to be heard among or above her male colleagues?

Give that woman a medal. Right now, stall the whole thing, someone run in with a medal for her.

 

[Jintor]

this is insane

 

[liquidtmd]

If this pass this, I hope there is a Global political focal shitstorm on Texas

I can't believe what I'm watching

 

[ivysaur12]

Holy shit. I've never witnessed anything like this before.

 

[JABEE]

Does suspending work like baseball?

 

[Easy_D]

Holy fuck at that crowd. I love 'em.

 

[bonercop]

this is the REALEST democracy you guys

 

[Alexlf]

10 mother fucking minuets! Come on, they can do it!

 

[sangreal]

"Suspend the roll call until we get order"

Yeah like that's gonna stop them from cheering!

Think he meant they will suspend if there is order

 

[Devolution]

"At what point must a female senator raise her hand or her voice to be recognized over her male colleagues in the room?"

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Too bad she didn't have a mic to drop.

 

[mackaveli]

Nerd chills man.. I am getting some chills righ tnow.

 

[mre]

Did she vote yes on the motion so that she could then get a recount?

Yep!

 

[Clydefrog]

[Escape Goat]

you could totally see her hand going up when he started calling the roll the first time.

 

[speculawyer]

10 minutes.

 

[stktt]

12 minutes....I want to believe so badly...so fucking badly...

We know how this ends.
