SB11 Campus Carry House Floor Debate 5/26/15

[TexasJohnBoy]

Point of Order on the entire bill? Wow.

[safety1]

Now, the bill has to go back to the Senate, then Senate would have to strip the amendment and then goes to a conference for a fix.

Is there time for that??

Probably not.

It would do Fletcher and supporting members good to pick up tactics from Farer by staying directly on topic with questions from the opposition. That being said I think Fletcher et al are doing a heck of a job with the situation at hand. I just pray they can keep up the fight through to the finish.

[Ruark]

Point of Order on the entire bill? Wow.

Can someone briefly explain what this is about?

[ScooterSissy]

There's no time limits being enforced either. They aren't going to get past amendment 1.

I think a member on the floor has to move a "point of order" to enforce the time limit. If they aren't paying attention or have all gone out to join Stickland for a cheeseburger, they won't be able to declare the point of order.

Some of you folks really don't seem to like Strickland. The "cheeseburger" comment sounds much like the childishness comments that have been going around.
Why?

What comments would you be referring to? I like cheeseburgers too. But I don't act like a child on the Texas House floor.

He just spoke, doing his job. Not out for cheeseburgers.

Surely you can see that there was sarcasm in the cheeseburger comment. You seem to be reacting to it as a literal statement.

Oh, absolutely. I recognized it as exactly what it was. That's why I brought up the "childish" reference. The comment really had nothing to do with this bill, and was just another ill placed slap. I would hope most folks are above that.
I don't much care for Strickland, but he wasn't out hunting cheeseburgers, and the comment wouldn't be allowed against a forum member, so why would it be made against him?

Is it open season here on those that are simply not liked?

[CJD]

Point of Order on the entire bill? Wow.

Can someone briefly explain what this is about?

It's about whether the bill was eligible to be placed on the Major State Calendar. Overruled

[SewTexas]

what is my kid goes to his university?

[CJD]

How arrogant.

[ajwakeboarder]

Why does this guy thing he's so special? He keeps saying his district is special. Why?

That at least makes clear what you were after. I'll not defend or attack the sarcasm, I'm not interested in that at this point. I did answer your question about why some of us are not fans of Stickland.

[Aggie_engr]

Nice planted question Rep Canales.

[ajwakeboarder]

He's lying. When he said he didn't get a single letter he looked down and to the right.

[SewTexas]

really, his district is that close to the border and he feels that safe? wow!

[Vol Texan]

Why does this guy thing he's so special? He keeps saying his district is special. Why?

Yeah, his district is special...just like everyone else's.
