A special session s in order

If I were Gov., this would be Straus Triple Dawg Daring for a special session.

I'm curious as to what some of the amendments are.

"Amendment 19: Strike the semi-colon from paragraph 2, line 3, and add a colon"

"Amendment 32: Capitalize "school""

"Amendment 45: Opt out only if you have an 'A', 'E', and/or 'X' in the school name"

Supposedly. But no telling what goes on behind closed doors, and what was actually said.

This may die on a point of order....

I believe they tried something similar earlier. I don't think they have the votes anyway.

Pockets run deep.

Yep.I can hear him now: "Well, I brought it up for a vote. I can't control how many amendments are brought up. Not my fault it died".

Jeez. They sure have had time to get their ducks in a row.

Joined just as soon as someone decided to make a POO. What's it on?

I just gave up on Texas Rising also.

Some historical inaccuracies for entertainment's sake. But I'm enjoying it.

I gave up. Texas Rising is on.

There was no deal. I've thought that all along. It's all been a power grab. I'm sure Strauss slipped Patrick a note that says, "If you say GULLIBLE slow enough, it sounds like ORANGES". And Patrick is still talking slow.

Take bets on how many amendments there are?

If it takes you longer to explain your amendment than it does for someone to read it...it's its own bill.
