I’m hoping Senate Dems can kill the bad ‘ol abortion bill today and it looks like some GOP types (I won’t call them leaders) are playing the blame game. Check this from Chron.com:
Accusations of who’s to blame for the anti-abortion proposal’s potential demise already are starting to fly.
Look no further than the always vocal Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, who blasted leadership after the Senate recessed Monday afternoon.
In a short back-and-forth with reporters, Patrick said “very clearly it does not look like there was coordination between the people who lead the majority” when it comes to Senate Bill 5.
“It’s just clear that we appear to be flying a little bit by the seat of our pants. These are important bills. You don’t fly by the seat of your pants when you try to pass important bill.”
Patrick added: “We’re the majority if the majority can’t pass the legislation they think is important and the people think is important then that’s a great concern to me.”
In response, Lt. Gov David Dewhurst said Patrick misrepresented leadership’s strategy and that he “had a very clear plan” to “pass good pro life legislation.”
Dewhurst quickly turned the table to focus on the House, which passed SB5 Monday morning.
These guys are in total control of the process. It doesn’t surprise me that Sen. Patrick won’t own up.
How many dingers did Carlos Beltran have for the ‘Stros during the 2004 post season?
It looks like the Voting Rights Act got gutted today by the Supremes. Check this from Politico:
The Supreme Court Tuesday struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, ruling unconstitutional a provision of the landmark civil rights legislation used to promote the political power of minority voters across large swaths of the southern United States for nearly four decades.
In a 5-4 ruling that split the court along ideological lines, the court freed some or all of 15 states from the requirement that all changes to voting laws, procedures and even polling place locations get advance approval from the Justice Department or a panel of federal judges.
Here is the entire Politico piece.
This is still a developing story but I am thinking for now it is open season for Latino and African American voters in the Lone Star State. I am also thinking that Guv Dude, the Lite Guv, and the AG will be huddling pretty soon to see how they can stick it to us. Watch your arses!
Well at least Dems can say that the GOP are taking away our voting rights and that ought to help us at the polls.
Carlos Beltran had eight dingers during the 2004 post season of course – four in the NLDS and four in the NLCS.
From the Chron Sports Section:
The Astros lead MLB in errors (60) and are ranked last in defensive efficiency (.674). The club’s tied for 26th out of 30 teams in fielding percentage (.980). … Carlos Correa is hitting .321 with four homers, 45 RBIs and an .852 OPS for low Class A Quad Cities. The No. 1 pick of the 2012 draft is 20-for-41 in his last 10 games.
Let’s see how we do against San Luis who own the best record in MLB.
