Houston Chronicle


AUSTIN -- An unknown number of Democratic state senators abruptly left the state Capitol this afternoon after learning that Gov. Rick Perry was about to call a second special session on congressional redistricting.

The second special session officially began at 3:15 p.m. with congressional redistricting as the only issue in the governor's proclamation. Neither the House nor the Senate had a quorum.

One Democratic senator who asked not to be named, told the Chronicle in a phone interview that senators were apparently on their way out of town.

"I have no idea where we're going. I just know in a little bit we will be out of pocket," the senator said.

He would not say how many senators had left but called it an "adequate" number to break a quorum and keep the Senate from conducting business.

The Senate requires two-thirds, or 21 senators, to be present to conduct business, meaning the absence of 11 senators could break a quorum. There are 12 Democrats in the Senate. ---

4. The cockroach DeLay's hand in these machinations to assure

Texas for the dimwit in 2004...which tells us
they're really worried he wont even carry his
home state.

6. Yeah, you have to look on the bright side

and use some logistics against the neocons.
I hope the Dems split up this time and head to numerous outposts, spread out so to say.

The neocons are worried about their boyking *moron, thus the intake of freepers in the last weeks flailing about the board.
and Delay is worried about his bugass self seeing the meltdown at the top.
it's fairly obvious...

hmm, and on Wed (7/30) PBS is playing 'Watergate plus 30 Years'
plug that back into the collective psyche and let a few more weeks go by.
