ELECT THE PEOPLE'S LAWYER: David Van Os, Democrat for Texas Attorney General

Filibuster and Quorum

Elliot Naishtat spoke (and I think I heard he's returning tomorrow) to congratulate David on the whole concept of the People's Filibuster.

In explaining why the event isn't a misuse--it's a new use--of "filibuster", he talked about his experience with the other Killer Ds in breaking quorum when they fled the state in an attempt to stop the redistricting fiasco now in Supreme Court.

He gave some truly inspiring ideas about being CREATIVE about the rules that are in place, rather than simply letting them rule us.
