No tools on the floor would be a better rule.

How about they just close the gallery to the public and televise the proceedings. Problem solved.

Takes away the last semblance of a representative republic.

Um, the elected Representatives would still be performing their work and the public would still be able to watch them while they do. They are still free to write them letters, call their offices, etc. Opponensts of this bill can still run for office, buy television and radio ads stating their point of view. So in no way does my suggestions take away representative goverrnment.

Nowhere in the Constittution of the US or Texas is there a right to pelt legislators with urine, feces, and feminine hygiene products.

Granted, a lot of times I think there ought to be, but there isn’t at this time.

Said Senator should be given the responsibility of cleaning up after this is over.

Been married twice. Total was 30.5 years.

Women carry used tampons around with them all the time. Of course, it depends on the venue.

I found a used condom inside the first one once. That was the end of that.

If you haven't had that happen yet, the women you've chosen to be with might be a little too tame or cowed.

On behalf of Prince Charles and his 'I Wish I Were Camile's Tampon -- an Ode To My Fantasy', let me say I am deeply disturbed and shall send a strongly worded letter in support of the courageous Senate Dem from Texas.

We need more principled politicians like this whose priorities are exactly where they should be. Count me as "aboard" any movement that attempts to also restrict the sale of anal suppositories as well.

“Tis a pity not one bottle was broken over - Texans would then charge the harpy crowd with felonies - and then convict them.

Hopefully, Texas would then send them to Arpaio’s tent jail and comedians could then crack wise about Code Pinkos in Pink. But the Pink would clash with the green mystery meat sandwiches - the Horror!
