I can't even believe what we have to resort to in order to protect women's rights. This fucking country.

 

[Fracas]

This is like a movie. Incredible

 

[Angelus Errare]

If they keep up that cheering for 11 more minutes, I'd seriously record myself eating raw onions. I can't cheer for more than 3 minutes without my throat being in major pain.

 

[B-Dubs]

Holy shit, this needs to be a movie so goddamn badly

 

[Enron]

They'll clear the chamber forcefully as they vote, more than likely.

 

[Rayis]

This is just glorious, I haven't seen anything like this ever, it's kind of like the Brazil protests at a smaller scale

 

[bounchfx]

this is incredible.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

If monsters take the place of politicians, let your voice be heard.

Awesome that they're cheering this to drag it out.

 

[Shadow780]

DRAMAAAAA

 

[antonz]

this is the REALEST democracy you guys

Not really when the majority of the state is in favor of the bill and there are the votes to pass it. This is mob mentality of who showed up

 

[Mercury Fred]

Oh god that scum president acting all put off. lol

 

[Frankenstrat]

Someone please give the short lady a Judge Dredd helmet and badge.

 

[royalan]

Quick! Someone take one for the team, get naked and streak!

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Can the gallery successfully keep cheering for 10 more minutes!?!?!

Fucking a, I would watch C-SPAN more if democracy was always this amazing.

 

[Clevinger]

Holy shit that must sting. Not only the burn itself, but people cheering for it for minutes on end.

 

[Vyrance]

Cheer for 10 more minutes, love you people!!! lol

 

[helloresolven]

Next week, let's do this in North Carolina.

 

[HK-47]

Please keep cheering

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

This is pretty incredible.

 

[Officerrob]

This is going to turn ugly very quickly when they ram this through

 

[Wallach]

Destroyed. Republicans come out looking like fucking clowns. This is not the story they wanted to wind up on the news tomorrow.

 

[Alexlf]

9 minuets........

 

[Candeldandel]

Wow, this is insane... Fuckin' awesome

 

[B-Dubs]

10 minutes guys, I hope against all hope

nah buddy, protesting is essential for a real democracy. For once, we're seeing poeple rather than private interests dictating things.

 

[Sax Russel]

This is nuts. Definitely not what I thought I'd be doing at this hour, but this is so good.

 

[sangreal]

Pretty amazing, even if it fails

 

[statham]

This is going to turn ugly very quickly when they ram this through

8 minutes.

 

[Devolution]

I can't even believe what we have to resort to in order to protect women's rights. This fucking country.

People think feminism is over or unnecessary, they've said so on this very board, what do people think is the point?

 

[DomZ]

Wonder how tense of an atmosphere it must be.

 

[Escape Goat]

the cheering isn't for her, its to keep the people on the floor from continuing. it would take more time to clear them out than they have.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

9 minutes..

 

[Smiley90]

Amazing. Downright amazing. I wish I was there right now, just to be clapping. Brilliant :lol

 

[Koomaster]

That line and now this clapping. The most amazing. Wow, I can't stop smiling over that line. Holy shit; the best ice cold burn in political history.

 

[AlexMogil]

Get the hoses Sergeant at Arms!

 

[kingkitty]

the gallery is doing some nice filibustering.

 

[AniHawk]

This is going to turn ugly very quickly when they ram this through

i can almost taste it.

mmm.

 

[KarmaCow]

This is surreal. It would be amazing if the cheering actually managed to stop this.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Citizen filibuster!

 

[RC]

i wish we could get a view of the cheering crowd.

 

[iammeiam]

Holy shit that must sting. Not only the burn itself, but people cheering for it for minutes on end.

I think he fucked himself over by trying to call for the final vote during the cheering--it's now literally the crowd screaming to keep the vote from finishing. 9 minutes!

 

[Clydefrog]

this needs to get national headlines

 

[Pastry]

This is fucking beautiful to watch right now.

 

[speculawyer]

150,562 watching now

Wrong: http://gqrr.com/images/documents/061913_TX_ACLU__FQ_public.pdf

Most Texas residents don’t support Senate Bill 5, the omnibus anti-abortion bill currently advancing in the legislature, according to a new bipartisan poll. In fact, 80 percent of Texans don’t want their lawmakers to be considering abortion-related bills during the special session that Gov. Rick Perry (R) convene

That's okay, it doesn't prevent other odious shit from going on in this country.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Lol at the old congresman recording the gallery's response on his iphone. Hope he youtubes it later.

 

[Jintor]

I don't even know if the crowd is doing anything right now, but it's some great theatre

Welcome to the Texas Legislature where the rules are made up and the points of order don't matter

I want to thank all of you for calling attention to this tonight. I saw a quick blurb about it in the PoliGAF thread, but didn't think much about it. Now, I've been watching it for the last 2 hours. This has been fascinating and educational. Thank you.
