I'm going to need a stiff drink to tolerate the bull that is about to be spewed in order to kill SB11.

Where are ya'll finding these amendments?

I think they're finding them on Twitter (which I, as well as many others here, never use).

Seriously? We are talking about pee? Gotta love watching popular bills get killed by technicalities.

I think I'm going to need to go dive in the back in the fridge.....

and the whiz-a-nator?????

Is it possible to kill a bill by simply amending it to death with umpteen zillion amendments? Seems like there would be a workaround - like the speaker could stand up and say "OK, just vote on it the way it is, yea or nay."

SB19 isn't going to be killed. They're just running the clock down so SB11 doesn't come up or doesn't have enough time to discuss all 100+ amendments.

Now we're getting a history lesson.

I was talking about SB11, not SB19. Can they deliberately load a bill up with silly, pointless amendments, just to sink it?

Sure as heck looks like it.

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.
