hehe ! Yep. I was surprised when I saw The Dallas Morning News use 'renegade'
in the first sentence (or anywhere in the article, for that matter) ...

Thanks for the ping, Ming!

I prefer to call them "Fleas." And I'll believe they're coming home when they cross the border.

Wouldn't a change in a Senate "rule" have to be voted on Session? Since this is something the Lt. Governor can change at will, sounds more like a tradition. One which has been deferred by other (Dem) Lt. Governors.

The difference between this time and the last time the blocker bill was dropped is that the Dems don't want to play if they don't know in advance that they will come out on top. Republicans would never have left the State to break a quorum.

And they wouldn't play footsie with known associates of the Communist Party of the USA, either.
