Status: offline 		As a resident of this extremely conservative state, I have to admit that Texas politicians are stranger than most, republican and democrat.

I am not saying that this senator is wrong in her actions, I know the law in question, and as proposed, the term draconian is, in my opinion, a mild description of the law.

I mean lets face it, Texas executed a mentally challenged individual for murder.

I hope she is successful, but in the end, I predict the law will be passed and signed into law by Perry.

Jesus. I've spoken for two hours and it actually wears out the tongue and mouth. It hurts. True grit, though not maybe of the John Wayne sort. I want to have her babies. Er....

That's the great thing, If she can make it to midnight the special session is over and the bill is dead until the next regular session in 2 years.

Status: offline 		Looks like the filibuster failed. The law passed 19-10. The Democrats are crying about the vote, because the voting went past midnight, but according to the Lt. Governor the voting started before midnight.

I'm sure the right-to-take-a-lifers in the Texas Democratic party can expect more butthurt from the deal when they challenge the vote.

You might want to doublecheck that.

Just off the AP Newswire - BREAKING: Texas lt. gov. reverses himself, declares vote on tough abortion bill came too late to pass.
