Texas Sen Davis's filibuster has been stopped by Repugs. Gallery is chanting "let her speak"

Because of 3 violations of rules. At least that's what it looks like to me, having tuned in for just 2 minutes. Or its still being argued...



On edit, I changed the chant from "anarchy anarchy" to "let her speak". Thanks for the correction.

Rethuglicans have declared war for a while now and it worked quite well defusing us with the election of Obama which has done absolutely nothing to improve things...time to wake the sleeping Lion from it's slumber.

and deliver her third strike was a total bullshit call. Davis was discussing the bill's requirement that the patient return to the abortion doctor, not her regular doc or OB for the followup labwork after the procedure or taking RU-486. she was comparing that hardship on the patient to the hardship created in the stupid sonogram-vaginal-probe-rape bill. Campbell objected, and sucked Dewhurst long enough to get him to agree.

Now it is all parliamentary procedure in the works.
