Texas Showdown.

Did you watch the Great Texas Showdown of 2013 last night? I did. Yesterday, Texas Senator Wendy Davis led the Democrats in the Texas Senate in a filibuster to prevent the passing of a bill which would practically end women's right to abortion. Watching Sen. Davis stand for over 10 hours and speak passionately about why the bill was very reinvigorating. It is unfortunate she and the other Democrats had to lead such an effort, but it shows that democracy is still alive and well in this country. Furthermore, we witness the extremely unethical behavior od Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Texas Sen. Robert Duncan, and the most failed parliamentarian in history, Karina Casari Davis. She failed to correctly interpret the rules and properly guide others. Sadly, Governor Rick Perry called another special session to attempt to force the bill through. The Texas Republican politicians should be ashamed of their appalling behavior.... relentlessly trying to derail women's rights, trying to call a vote after the midnight deadline, lying about when they called the vote. I'm so glad we have people like Sen. Wendy Davis to advocate for what is right.

Clinton-Davis 2016, anyone?
