You've got it backwards. You are a modern dude trying to figure out 150 years of parliamentary procedure.Dave2 wrote:I feel like a 115 year-old Amish dude trying to figure out a space ship...

They may have, but it was only an expression of support, it had no legal effect.SA-TX wrote:IIRC, at least the Student Senate at A&M voted to opt-in but not sure about the institution as a whole.ELB wrote:If I understand correctly, 2/3 of the Regents of the university have to vote to "opt out."

Just remember, the Republican leadership arranged for them to win. There's a reason this bill was parked for over two months after it came from the Senate, and it wasn't because there were too many resolutions honoring John Wayne that had to be heard first.cprems wrote: ...

Not really. You're assuming that the purpose of the amendments is to make it better, not weaken it, make a point, or delay it or other bills. The bill could be "perfect" and someone would be throwing out amendments to keep from getting to SB 11.Ruark wrote:Amendment 22????!!! You know, if a bill has to be modified that much, it was poorly written in the first place and should be taken down.
