The government should protect innocent life.

That includes the expansion of CHL rights and the limiting of elective abortion whenever and wherever possible.

I had the exact same thought!

Let's add in a gun bill and name a freeway after Rush Limbaugh.

I was impressed with Dewhurst yesterday. I think the fight with Cruz helped him find his backbone a little and he's realized he needs to be more out front and vocal for conservatism. Back then, I honestly thought they were pretty similar in their beliefs, but Cruz has a rude abruptness to him that I felt sent a better message.

I'd love to see another session. . . and as much as I want gun bills added, after the fight we just witnessed. . . I doubt they can pass two contentious bills. Still, I can dream. At the end of the day, though, the bill they tried to get done yesterday was much more significantly transformational than any of the gun bills that got overlooked this year - if I had to pick one, I hope they revive the wording from SB5 and do it right this time.
