MIDNIGHT!!!!

[thelordofhell]

The nightmare is over...........


On Edit----Looks like the Texas Rapepublicans are trying to weasel their way past the fact they didn't get the vote in on time............

[sweetloukillbot]

1. What was the vote they just announced?

Was it to end the filibuster or pass the law?

[onenote]

2. They commenced the roll call to pass the bill

And despite what folks may think, I believe that when the dust settles the chair will announce that the bill passed before midnight.

[tammywammy]

6. They didn't start the roll call until after midnight!

25. You're thinking of the second one to close the session.

The secretary called the last name (over the chanting) -- van der hooven?!? Van der something at 11:53, by my clock, then Dickwad called the tally at 11:59.

But the chamber wasn't in order at the time.

[tammywammy]

27. The very last name to be called starts with a "z". n/t

[X_Digger]
