Re: What is status Restoration of Gun Rights in Austin?

I'm lost right now....I can't even figure out which calendar they're on. They should be following a calendar, they aren't on anything dated today.

Of course, the "who" choosing the speaker were the Democrats plus enough Republicans to put him over 50%. Not all Republicans are to blame.
So why so many Republicans voted for him in the first place?

because he's a bully. if they don't vote for him, they don't get any bills passed, they don't get any committee assignments.......And Dan Patrick has been taking lessons from him.

the guy who ran against him for speaker last session....I heard the story....He was convinced to do it..."oh, we'll vote for you!" "hey we have the votes" So he finally said ok" He did it, Everyone turned away....He was ruined...Done. His first Session and these jerks ruined his career.
Bully on who ? the super majority?

the individual.

He controls what goes on the Senate floor calendar. He also controls who is on each committee. Thus He controls what Leg passes. And if you pay attention in some areas if a baliff wants a pay raise it has to go through the leg. Each Rep has to get certain things through the leg for their district.

Sounds like he needs to be "primaried out" next time he's up for reelection
He'll never be "primaried out", I've given up that dream. He'll have to retire and then someone can run in that district. He posts huge signs even though everyone knows who he is. When someone runs against him they have to have enough money to run against that, it's impossible.
