I think a member on the floor has to move a "point of order" to enforce the time limit. If they aren't paying attention or have all gone out to join Stickland for a cheeseburger, they won't be able to declare the point of order.
Some of you folks really don't seem to like Strickland. The "cheeseburger" comment sounds much like the childishness comments that have been going around.
Why?
What comments would you be referring to? I like cheeseburgers too. But I don't act like a child on the Texas House floor.
He just spoke, doing his job. Not out for cheeseburgers.
Surely you can see that there was sarcasm in the cheeseburger comment. You seem to be reacting to it as a literal statement.
Oh, absolutely. I recognized it as exactly what it was. That's why I brought up the "childish" reference. The comment really had nothing to do with this bill, and was just another ill placed slap. I would hope most folks are above that.
I don't much care for Strickland, but he wasn't out hunting cheeseburgers, and the comment wouldn't be allowed against a forum member, so why would it be made against him?

Is it open season here on those that are simply not liked?
That at least makes clear what you were after. I'll not defend or attack the sarcasm, I'm not interested in that at this point. I did answer your question about why some of us are not fans of Stickland.
My question wasn't about Strickland, it was about the cheesburger comment. Sorry I didn't make that more clear.

Some would actually prefer that Strickland take up flipping cheeseburgers and drop attempting to legislate. :biggrinjester:

Mr. Cotton, I really appreciate your updates and all the hard work but unless these amendments stop before midnight and there is a vote, this is just dressing.

They're going to run out the clock.

Don't do this again. Stickland isn't a Forum Member, but the people you are insulting are and it won't be tolerated.

Now M.F. wants to cry about language in the bill analysis. It shouldn't have any bearing if you can read the bill and vote on it.

So you're saying that if there are, say, 110 amendments, and at midnight they're only at amendment 37, SB11 dies right then and there....?
