SB11 Campus Carry House Floor Debate 5/26/15

[Papa_Tiger]

The guy standing to the left of Strauss; glasses & bald head....is he the House Parlimentarian?

That's what I thought too, but when I looked it up, it's not him. Not sure who that was.

That is Dennis Bonnen

I bet Straus did this on purpose. Promised the House would pass it so that it wouldn't be added to 910, then made it as last minute as possible so it could run out of time and he could say he tried.

Let the finger-pointing begin...

Who was it that stopped SB11 from being added as an amendment to HB910 in the full Senate, because there was a "commitment" that the House would pass SB11?

With that motion to suspend rules failing, is campus carry all but dead? You would thing they can easily run the clock out now.

That's what I was thinking. Was the suspension of rules voting recorded so we know the 6 or so Rs that didn't vote for it?

What is this? Mutual admiration society? This is classic stall, creating a de facto filibuster, IMHO.

The gentleman who just asked questions on SB1496 looked like he was reading from a card like the MDA opposition. Maybe I'm just a conspiracist.

So they have to get through all of the 3rd reading before getting to today's Major State Calendar?

[mojo84]

I couldn't stomach any more. This stuff is ridiculous.

What can be done???

[Luggo1]

SB 11 has sat in the House for what? 2 months? Yet they have run out of time...?

[Glockster]

So is all that is going on now with the motions to change the order an attempt to get certain bills (such as SB11) moved up for today?

[juno106]

I dunno...

Bend over and hold our ankles?

Find out who in the Senate prevented SB11 from being added as an amendment to HB910?

What can be done???

[jerry_r60]

I'm novice at watching this and am slanted by wanting to hear SB11 but this sure seems like there is a real orchestrated effort to prevent it from coming up. I'll have to admit, it's interesting how it's done but it's very frustrating.

[TexasJohnBoy]

This is terribad. I'm done watching for now. Completely unacceptable that we're up against the deadline here.
