(22,243 posts)Texas filibuster rules are very strict
No leaning on the furniture
No straying from the topic
No breaks, not even bathroom
No food
Majority has opportunity to call out points of order on the person doing the filibuster; four is the maximum
Wendy wore a catheter and stood for 13 hours . She had almost run out the clock when the last point of order was called. The rest of the Senate Democrats tore in to a series of procedural maneuvers to run down the clock; at midnight the official Legislative session would end.
