    Dem Rep. Louis Molepske interrupted JFC Co-chair Robin Vos to request a recess, citing sleep deprivation and the safety of the chamber. Molepske recounted some of the dangers of sleep deprivation, including slurred speech, disorientation and hallucinations, drawing laughs from members who thought he was getting a jab in on Vos. But Molepske insisted he was serious. Speaker Pro Tempore Bill Kramer rejected the request, pointing out he's been in the chair for all but five hours of the debate and unlike the others, he has to stand on his feet and "pay attention."
