Republican Crooks in Texas Find Ways to Unethically End Wendy Davis’ Courageous Filibuster. [View all]

'Please excuse my language—but I am beyond pissed off.

I had this feeling that somehow, someway, these right-wing bastards in Texas would find a way to stop Wendy Davis’ courageous filibuster of an anti-abortion bill that represents a direct attack on women’s rights in Texas.

And I almost knew, they would let her go on for hours before they finally found a way to end it—just enough to make her essentially waste her time. Currently, Democrats in the Texas Senate are trying desperately to make it to midnight by raising parliamentary inquiries and other stall tactics (something that they should have never had to do to start with if the filibuster was allowed to continue), but it’s doubtful they’ll be able to pull it off.

It speaks to their sadistic nature that I knew these Republican crooks would not only find some bullshit ways to end her filibuster, but in doing so would let her speak for hours as a means to almost torture her before finally putting her out of her misery by finding some bogus excuse to call an end to it. . .

And from here on out, her star will only glow brighter.

This action by Republicans in Texas has made a mockery of the legislative process, which is nothing new for them—or any number of Republicans across this country.

And I can promise one thing, Democrats in Texas and women in Texas will damn sure not forget this injustice.'
