Texas senators are trying to get to the bottom of whether Republicans successfully pushed through a vote on Senate Bill 5, the omnibus abortion restriction bill, ahead of their midnight deadline.

Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, says the bill passed at 12:02 a.m.; if that's true, the vote may not withstand legal scrutiny.

"It's pretty conclusive that it didn't pass," said Whitmire.

But the Senate still has not officially adjourned sine die. When Senators resume floor proceedings, Whitmire said Democrats will call a point of order on the motion to vote on a bill after the midnight deadline.

[font color=green]While I know that Lois Kolkhorst is the representative for Brenham in the Texas House, I didn't pay much attention to who the state senator for this district was. I just looked at the map and discovered that in Texas Senate District 18, the senator is Glenn Hegar--the repuke that introduced Senate Bill 5!

I predict that I will be sending a letter to the senator does not represent me!

Why am I so unfortunate and what did I do to deserve these two assholes not looking after my interests in the Texas House and Texas Senate?

BTW, I also strike out with Michael McCaul in the U.S. House along with Cornyn and Cruz in the U.S. Senate. [/font]
