This is the Progressive Movement in Texas new hero. Texas State Senator Wendy Davis has been filibustering a draconian bill written by Texas Republican Men to criminalize what women choose to do to their bodies.

1. The Republicans stopped Wendy Davis' filibuster. Now the Democratics are appealing.

3. Oh, so they're not in recess? I was wondering! Hmm.

4. No they are NOT in recess. The president (chair) is trying to figure out the rules.

He let someone make a motion - but the republican was out of order, because another senator had already made motion to appeal.
And until the appeal is resolved no one else can make another motion.

5. I've been watching the livestream & it's like watching a good guys/bad guys classic!

How about those Texas Democrats! I'm impressed. The Democratic constituency kicked ass, too.
