fYI Whitmere says the time stamp conclusively shows that the vote started at 12:02 and is therefore not valid. While the special session is over sine die was never voted, they are still in regular session. Senate Dems plan on starting the day with a point of order. The vote probably won't stand if the time stamp really does show that..

She could sit at a strategic moment, maybe throw a wrench into the works that can't be cleared in time.

Dewhurst calls for adjournment- no idea if a vote was completed or counts if it was

Women's votes have a way of shutting these fuckers down. Nov. 2014 can't come soon enough.

Reminds me of the Wisconsin travesty - Rethugs just said "fuck the rules".
