Good old Ben West sure does love his stories.

Does this feel like a filibuster to anyone else?

[Worriedman]

Feels like they are about done for the year.

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

Does this feel like a filibuster to anyone else?

Nope, Naifeh cut it WAY too short for a filibuster attempt.

[Guest stovepipe]

Yaaawn....

[Guest db99wj]

Does this feel like a filibuster to anyone else?

No. This is "typical" protocol for the sessions, they slap each other's asses for about 30 minutes before the business is attended too.

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

Now I know what the 5 hour recess was for. All the Democrats needed time to prepare their speeches about Larry Turner. Don't get me wrong, I assume he has passed away and that is a sad event for his family but do we need every single representative to talk about him with precious little legislative time left?

This crap is gettin old.

[Guest db99wj]

This crap is gettin old.

This is the 88th legislative Day and each and every day, they do this. They really do waste a lot of time.

It's like the last day at school where the teachers are supposed to keep going till the bell, but everybody says "Bang THAT!"

[Guest ScottD]

Preach it sister!

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

Oh man, Aunt Esther is about to break out in some preachin...

[Capbyrd]

Did she just say "the black caucus?" RACIST!

[Guest ScottD]

Did she just say "the black caucus?" RACIST!

You know I was thinking the same thing. If there was a white caucus, Memphis would be in a riot the size of the Rodney King ones.

[Guest jackdm3]

Did she just say "the black caucus?" RACIST!

Had it turned down. Maybe she said "the black cause?"

[JayC]

Are they going to do any work today?

[Guest ScottD]

Had it turned down. Maybe she said "the black cause?"

Nope, for sure it was caucus

Edit:

Looks like it wont be today

[Guest pws_smokeyjones]

Outstanding - in Recess again until 6pm.

[dralarms]

I'm not beleiving the crap, they just recessed. I want my money back. those buggers don't deserve to get paid.

[Worriedman]

How much are we paying these ***hats?

[Guest db99wj]

There is a Tennessee Black Caucus that is made up of black leaders from around the state. There are a lot of Black Caucus organizations all the way up to the federal level.

[Guest HexHead]

It is becoming obvious to me that any lawsuit against this legislation is going to be based on 99% trumped up hogwash and outright lies and misrepresentations.

Bingo. Give this man a kewpie doll.

[Worriedman]

Just make sure you House members know that you are going to put their re-election on the same plane of importance they are giving this Override vote.

[Guest HexHead]

There is a Tennessee Black Caucus that is made up of black leaders from around the state. There are a lot of Black Caucus organizations all the way up to the federal level.

And every one as worthless as the next.

Outstanding - in Recess again until 6pm.

Sure sounds to me the plan is to run out the clock. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to go through another year of this crap. Although I doubt the House would have the stomach to "take it up again in January". Boy that sounds familiar.
