By Campbell that her remarks were not germane. They rammed that through and the gallery erupted with screams of "BULLSHIT!"

They might clear the gallery and then they have to vote to end the filibuster, then vote on the bill.

Senator Watson and Senator West will be proven right that Senator Estes was not in order when he made a motion. Watson had started debate and did not yield the floor.

They tried to have a roll call vote but there was so much noise in the chamber that even the chair said that the Senate was not in order. The roll call vote finished after midnight so there are going to be plenty of grounds to fight it in court.

There has been silence in the chamber for more than 20 minutes afterward and Sine Die has not been called.
