An idea for the Texas Senate if Wendy Davis decides to filibuster again and bring in the goons.

Posted on 06/28/2013 2:55:38 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Wendy Davis is the new darling of the left(dems, msm, etc.). If she decides to filibuster again, to sustain her new pro-abortion heroine status, I think that the Texas Senate should adopt a new rule for the filibuster.

The new rule would be that after a half hour of speaking the other side gets to use a "silent rebuttal". The silent rebuttal would be the use of graphics or text to rebut her testimony, by using a split screen on TV, where the other side could use pictures such as of a 23 week old baby that was aborted and with the text stating that "This is what Wendy Davis is defending".

Interrupting her filibuster by voice is not allowed, but a picture says a thousand words.

I bet her dem goons will be screaming that's not fair.

That’s a great idea and a would make a great visual. Better than an AIDS ribbon.

You want troopers to remove her from the floor of the Senate because she is engaged in a filibuster (vile as it may be)??? Do you realize the terrible precedent that would set???

Let her filibuster all she wants - the session can be up to 30 days, she can’t stall that whole time.

Did you get that TX ping list together for Monday?

Well, obviously, everybody’s invited. Tshirts and signs JC’s working on, but the more ideas the merrier. I have 4 sign ideas myself, need to get my a$$ to CVS for the poster paper and get some sticks. I have the glue and the paint.

How about the Senators, they can bring in “Exhibits”?

Rule 3.04. No poster, placard, banner, sign, or other similar material shall be carried into the Senate by any person, and no person shall attach or affix any poster, placard, banner, sign, or other similar material to the walls, rails, seats, or bannisters of the Senate Chamber. This rule shall be strictly enforced.

What I am saying is that during Wendy's filibuster after an 1/2 hour or so, the TV shot is allowed to show a silent rebuttal with a split screen, such as a 23 week old aborted baby, with the text, "This is what Wendy Davis is defending".

Nothing in your above rule says anything about official Texas Senate TV coverage.

The MSM will be covering Wendy, but they will run away, if my suggested rule was used.

Yes the MSM would try to edit the footage of the split screen, but make the rule, that the MSM can't edit the official TV Texas Senate debate.

I can copy the one you have...

Meeting should be Sunday here - going to sit with the other organizers and get it all worked out.

But yeah, there’s going to be plenty of folks there!

“Windy” - what a cute name, but not for the old, ugly woman she will be one day not so far in the distant future.

Here is where I saw it. This is a group that produces international media to educate about options to abortion.

They should not have been (no should they have been allowed to drown out the proceedings, of course).

We’re getting together a recriprocal ‘special’ - POSHITUS’s words - rally in Austin to knock down Wendy Davis. We could use a little logistical guidance.

It’s easy to get to Austin: IH-35 or I-10.
