[Tesseract]

guys i have a boner.

 

[AlteredBeast]

LOL.

On another note: as a pro-lifer, I love me some limiting of abortions.

Outside of life of mother/baby unable to survive without machines sort of thing.

Definitely a rarity on GAF, I know, but that's me.

(to counterbalance the incoming hate, I am against the death penalty, pro gay-marriage, for legalization of most drugs, etc.)

Im talking about his comment, the same sort of shit the other guy said earlier and got warned about.

I see no reason it isn't true. Care to defend their actions?

 

[Sobriquet]

Watson FTMFW

 

[B-Dubs]

End one filibuster start another! FIGHT THE POWER!

 

[hom3land]

Guy kind of looks like Buddy from Friday Night Lights.

 

[antonz]

The President of the House is clueless

There is a reason why there is a Parliamentarian. 99% of them are clueless outside of the little cheatbook they have listing things they can and cant say. Parliamentary Rule is bloated and confusing

 

[bonercop]

that was seriously some last minute, turnabout, phoenix wright shit right there.

 

[jaxword]

Who is the red tie guy who managed to pull off the "this is debatable" trick?

 

[Frankenstrat]

Truly the hero Texas deserves

 

[royalan]

So the motion to overturn the third PoO will, for all intents and purposes, extend the filibuster, right?

 

[sangreal]

clearing the gallery takes time too

 

[mackaveli]

This guy stfu.

Outbursts are banned haha.

 

[Incognito]

Dewhurst said that the 3rd PoO needed to face a floor vote if sustained. It was sustained, but not voted on floor. Dewhurst unilaterally attempted to end filibuster. He is lying and I'm very glad to see Kirk Watson (Austin) challenge him on that point.

Watson and Van De Putte (San Antonio) can stretch this out.

 

[marrec]

"As noted by my absence, I was not here."

:lol Filibusters are awesome.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Slooow talkin'

 

[boiled goose]

so you want to limit the freedoms of those that disagree with you? be against it all you want, but do you think that your views should be imposed upon others?

 

[kai3345]

Wait is this lady filibustering too? What is going on?

 

[Escape Goat]

Is she being genuine or is this her running out the clock?

 

[speculawyer]

Oh lord. What the hell is going on...?

She was talking about a previous abortion law in the context of how this new law piles upon that law thus severely limiting access to abortion and they are claiming that talking about the previous law was not germane.

Which seems pretty fucking ridiculous.

 

[Black Mamba]

haha, the dems are trying to prolong this as long as possible.

Oh snap, playing her funeral for this. Wow.

 

[Alexlf]

So the motion to overturn the third PoO will, for all intents and purposes, extend the filibuster, right?

Yep, now they either need to succeed in overruling it, giving her another chance to speak, or they just need to hold it out until midnight.

 

[mackaveli]

Is this chick asking for them to debate everythign for her since she was left.

and explain everything to her haha.

Keep stalling hahaha.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Father's funeral! Bringing out the big guns.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

LOL.

Congratulations. Keep your values out of my mother/daughter/girlfriend/wife's bodies.

 

[helloresolven]

She's helping run out the clock.

(There's no way she didn't know what the fuck is going on...)

 

[Officerrob]

Dems are digging in now

 

[kai3345]

Ok maybe a bit scummy to bring up her father's funeral, but whatever works I guess?

 

[Lonestar]

eesh, using Father's Death here, that's...wow

 

[Enron]

Yeah, this is running out the clock.

 

[Easy_D]

I ain't even american but this is really fun to watch.

 

[sangreal]

yes

 

[speculawyer]

85,217 watching now

Live drama!

 

[Sax Russel]

Please explain things to me. Everything. All of the things. As slowly as you can.

=)

 

[Sobriquet]

Who is the red tie guy who managed to pull off the "this is debatable" trick?

Kirk Watson from Austin

 

[Escape Goat]

Everyones dancing on technicalities. Its going to be interesting to see who can outdo the other.

 

[Timeless]

Guys what if the anti-abortion advocates advocated for better sex education? One would assume that an abortion is the result of poor planning / education before having sex. Maybe the best way to make sure that unborn babies aren't killed is to make sure they never existed in the first place.

Of course, most of the anti-abortion sentiment comes from religious conservatives who think it's immoral to wear a condom or teach others about them.

 

[Rayis]

Democrats fighting fire with fire, Republicans need this kind of treatment with their intransigence

 

[Alexlf]

Oh man, this stalling is delicious.

 

[Striek]

I ain't even american but this is really fun to watch.

Same. Its really stupid though at the same time.

 

[mackaveli]

I ain't even american but this is really fun to watch.

Yeah I'm Canadian but US politics is entertaining to watch but damn it seems like a horrible place to live in (Some states that is).

 

[Fracas]

My connection is too bad to watch the stream, can someone summarize?

In an hour and 43 minutes, the vote can't be held, right?

Easy to fix, just ban pre-marital sex!

Every country is a horrible place to live if you look in the right places. Man I wish Sweden's politics were this exciting at times though

No.

In this case: yes. In all other cases: no.

Might as well call me JayDubya on the point of abortion. It is senseless.

 

[User 100115]

1 hour and 40 minutes left.

 

[Brawndo Addict]

I don't know how arcane the rules and procedures get, but it seems hard to believe this could keep going for another 2 hours.

 

[An-Det]

Hearing the faint chants of "let her speak" still going on in the distance is fucking awesome. Shame they broke the fillibuster, still over 2 hours to go. Really cool that this is streamed though.

 

[Enron]

Haha, this lady is just repeating the same things over and over.

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

This is crazy. Dems going all out.
