-snip-
Dewhurst says hes prepared for the next attempt to derail the legislature. I expect some demonstrations, he said. Texas does have an open-meetings policy, but he can determine at least in the Senate, where he presides whether a threat to public safety exists. If visitors attempt another demonstration, Im going to clear the gallery. In lieu of access to the Senate, Dewhurst will set up a closed-circuit video feed to committee rooms to those interested in observing rather than demonstrating. Were all for openness and transparency, Dewhurst said, but if youre having a demonstration which is going to impede the legislature from moving forward, Im perfectly at ease with clearing the gallery with our state police.
Dewhurst plans to combat the media coverage with grassroots support on Twitter and other social media. He will ask pro-life supporters to use #Stand4Life hashtag while the Texas legislature is in session. He reviewed the possible timing of the bill, which has to start from scratch in both chambers because of the new special session, although the specific timing may prove somewhat different. Either way, Dewhurst pledges that he will pass the ban on late-term abortions and require abortionists to meet the same standards as all other ambulatory surgical centers meet in Texas. Im a strong believer in values.

(535 posts)1. Dewhurst broke the law.
He should be placed under arrest, and answer for his crime of falsification of official papers, which is a felony.
Rick Perry won't do it, because he has his cronies. It's time to remove the criminals and hold them accountable.
