Looks like they're doing cleanup now before adjourning for the night.

Isn't tomorrow still a possibility (or am I reading the calendar wrong here)http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/De ... lendar.pdf

To pass tomorrow, HB 972 would need 25 votes instead of 21. If Birdwell can't secure 21 votes today, he's not likely to secure 25 tomorrow.

For all intents and purposes, HB 972 is dead. It's time to call Governor Perry and ask for campus carry to be added to his special session call.

The Senate just started a new "day" at 10 PM (a bill must be read on three separate days unless the author/sponsor can secure a 4/5 vote to suspend the constitutional "three-day" rule). I guess that's kind of like rolling back the clock at midnight--they do whatever it takes to get the bills passed.

Unfortunately, this didn't help HB 972.

Wasn't there a "Get campus carry added to the special session!" call to action in 2009 and another one in 2011?

If thats the case, there are some folks currently in Austin that deserve to be staked to an ant hill. This is ridiculous....Again!

That's how it works. The people who support a bill try to get it passed. The people who oppose it try to kill it. One side succeeds, and the other side fails.
