Wentworth pulls down Amendment 7
But brings up Flor amendment #8
Something about 5 seconds rule
no more amendments or debate
Williams asks how many more amendments can we NOT hear now?
2 more besides the #7
Zaff made a motion up or down on moving to engrossment without being able to hear other amendments until 3rd reading
lol
I think even they are confused ....
voting now on her motion on whether to vote on it to engrossment to be read a third time or something ...
If this vote passes; they can vote,
motion fails 18 nays 13 ayes
Amendment 8 by Wentworth being read now
Amendment 8 is 354 with athletic events and private institutions removed
Zaffrini asks what parts are different from 7 which was found to not be germane
zaff says 8 not germane .... even though two parts non-germane fixed not all were
taking her point of order up ...
EVERYONE up at President's desk rioting, I mean discussing
They turned off sound

I missed where there was a determination of it not being germane. Is Zaffrini alleging this or was a ruling made?
Also, I'm doing too many things at once right now.
>>Amendment 8 is 354 with athletic events and private institutions removed
Does this mean Am. 8 would restrict those areas or make them accessible?

OK. I just thought it was RealPlayer acting as the awful piece of software it truly is. You know, "No sound! It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Looks like Ellis has a press conference scheduled 30 minutes after the adjournment of the Senate. That should be interesting.

POINT OF ORDER OVERRULLED

Acceptable vto the authour of the BILL (Zaffrini)
Wentworth says that's nice, it isn't acceptable to me ... Move to table amendment to the amendment

Does he REALLY believe that CHL Holders would go into their professors and threaten them?
What about those that do NOT follow the law?
