Take bets on how many amendments there are?

If that's the case, they cut out a special privilege for themselves.

Or am I hearing this wrong?

Yep. If the bill passes in its current form you can't record them without their knowledge but they can record you without your knowledge. Not so good.

Are you kidding? Got a URL? I guess they're going to "amend it to death."

No URL - Press on Twitter:

I think that activity is only legal for legislators.

Only if you're not recording the bet.

Stick a fork in it (again).

Well we made some awesome headway earlier today but we're stuck on the endless amendment offerings to SB19.

Eta I'm not sure I can keep watching this bill through to failure and retain my sanity. I may have to sign off all electronic devices and run out into the woods in solidarity for a couple of days.

WAIT, I JUST HEARD LAST AMENDMENT!!!!!!

We’re now on SB19, amendment 24. #txlege Then SB9 is back (we think), then #SB11, campus carry.

Why so pessimistic?

These last minute bills take a lot of finessing. It's not like it's been sitting the in the House for over two months.

What? oh.

It appears to me that most of these amendments today were bills that had no chance to go through, so they piggy back onto bills that might have a better chance.

Heaven forbid our legislators have to take a drug test.
