That summary is not really accurate. On the 3rd point of order, Lt. Gov. Dewhurst ruled in his party’s favor, with the point of order being that the Wendy said something that was not germaine to the bill. Of course, what Wendy said WAS germaine to the bill, as explained in detail by Dem Senator
Kirk Watson.
Without going into further detail about the rules, etc., let me say that it is obvious to anyone with an idea of the rules that the Republicans broke several tonight, ending with taking a vote after midnight. Note that the 2nd point of order was made because a fellow Senator accidentally touched Wendy when she was getting her back brace from him.

I actually don’t think this bill will stand, although I will note:
