You'd swear from our comments this was a race, or a countdown to a movie release. But instead, it's a countdown to the culmination of a successful filibuster.

It's so beautiful.

What are they doing? She's doing an inquiry about the roll call... vote? What?

It is a priority issue she is saying she wanted to ajourn before a roll call. She is saying did you ignore me or not hear me.
If refused to answer in order to prevent her from going to rules for either.

So an attempt to shut down the filibuster?

The Governor has called a special session of the Texas Senate, if no vote occurs by midnight, so they can vote on it.

look at the occupation, awesome.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
