Dannie Goeb throwing a bitch fit, threatens to blow up Senate rules again

[DanRydell 799]

Despite the GOP controlling 19 seats in the Senate, Patrick is threatening to force a vote on SB2 in violation of Senate rules requiring 19 votes to bring a bill to the floor because they can't get 19 GOP votes for the bill. It's also unclear if there is even the simple majority of 16 votes for SB2 but Seliger is the only one publicly opposing it.

Two sessions ago, when the GOP controlled 20 seats, Patrick and Co. changed a 68-year-old rule requiring a 2/3 vote (21 votes) to a 3/5 votes (19 votes).

In retaliation to Lt. Gov. Dan Goeb, the Texas Senate is unanimously aligned on a bill that would make it a state law for males in Texas to have shoulders wider than their hips to be considered actual Texans.
