Dewhurst and Perry tried to muscle this through the this last time, by the rules. And it was soundly defeated.
Now Dewhurst wants to remove the 2/3rd's rule so that he can force it down everyones throats.
Removing that rule is disrespectful to the entire senate. The Democrats did the only thing they could do when Dewhurst removes all the rules, and that is to not allow those broken rules to mean anything.
The Texas Democrats are standing up for their rights and aren't taking it up the cornhole like most Dems were in '02.
