The country club chamber doesn’t adhere to the same rules as the “people’s house.” Hundreds of bills died when the clock struck midnight in the House on Tuesday.
The Senate decided to ignore that little deadline tonight by simply unplugging the clocks two minutes before midnight. I guess we found the answer to eternal youth and somehow I’m spending mine hunched over a computer on the Senate floor.

Very unfair. I do realize they had a lot of bills to pass but when time is up time is up. Just think if you could stop time when playing football who would have won the Super Bowl, or even bigger yet, who might have won the presidential election. If voting polls stopped the clock 2 minutes before the end of voting, how different life might be. 2 minutes can and has changed the outcome of life in the United States especially in Texas. How can people in higher positions expect the oridinary citizen to follow the rules if they can’t even follow their own rules.
