Oh thank you. Saved.
I wonder if anyone else caught it.
Maybe we could blow it open?
Or is it on Twitter?
If it's already on Twitter then no worries[/QUOTE]
it's all over twitter at this point
I also have it saying 6/26, along with a screenshot.
Here's the page. Forget whether it would have the HTML files being referred to in my format (C://User/Desktop or whatever) or not but hopefully it works. Hasn't been tampered with at all.

Some of the reps printed out copies. Physical copies that they changed it.
I can't believe people would be so dumb as to try and change something like that while so many people are watching quite intently. Guess you can't fix stupid.
I genuinely hope that this launches the careers of all these Democrat Senators. I know that all of them deserve credit, but Wendy Davis really fucking knocked it out of the park.
Wendy Davis for President, eventually.
The last Texan Democrat was one of our best Presidents ever.

It's funny that people still don't understand that once something has been on the internet it's already been copied by thousands of computers and is basically impossible to get rid of.
Oh my fucking god :v:
Having full knowledge that millions are watching intently, and still illegally passing it? I hope something can be done to reverse it. So many people caught the stupid mistake in this, it's gonna cause one epic shitstorm.
She still goes down as an amazing woman for a 13(?) hour fillibuster towards logic and reason.

It could have been so much longer, which is the sad part.

[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41192264]I wonder if the news that they switched the dates after midnight hit any news sources yet.
All I can see still is that the bill passed.
(Which it clearly didn't/shouldn't have)[/QUOTE]
I've reported it to all major news sources. So, hopefully that does...something.

Without a doubt it has, but it's pretty late right now. The worst of it will hit tomorrow morning.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;41192328]Saw that The Atlantic made note of the dates being switched.
Just going to wait and see what happens tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Texas Tribune caught it as well.

Rumors abound that this is going to be fought in court ASAP. Too tired though to figure out. Tomorrow's a new day.

Pretty sure that a president can't veto a state law.
Bill confirmed dead.
[quote]Alex Parker ‏@AlexParkerDC 7m Well.....RT @naraltx: So, we're getting final word that bill was passed at 12:03am. Dewhurst saying bill is dead! #sb5 #txlege[/quote]
I hope it doesn't stop at the dead bill.
Good, the bill's dead. Now let's hope some heads roll for what they tried to pull.
special sessions are fairly expensive to call, not to mention that senators would hate perry for it, so hopefully this bill is dead for the next 2 years at least
It's not often news makes me physically nauseous but holy FUCK i hate republicans, awesome to hear they didnt get away with it though
