The funny part of this is that Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick was himself part of a walkout back in '71. The runaway Democrats are generally referred to as the "Killer D's", which is a reference to the "Killer B's", who I think were repubs who staged a walkout in 1979.
Bottom line: this is a protest against the tyrrany of the majority. It is not without precedent.
