you know, for some unknown reason. - i'd like to raise a point of order that senator davis has violated rule 4.01 when she had senator ellis assist her by putting a back brace on during a pause a moment ago. - that the republican leadership decided that they wanted to silence her, that they were going to do anything to stop her from filibustering, even calling bogus points of order. - this was not in keeping with the tradition of the texas senate. no senator had ever, ever gone through that before. - the point of order is sustained. [gavel bangs] [crowd yelling] - bullshit! [crowd yelling]
