They got caught and that is why they went into the meeting to hash out what to do. They decided to accept the time shown so no one would investigate them. They knew Perry would call a another session so they could vote again. The only way this won't pass is for the legislators to have had the pants scared off them. I am not hopeful, I think the anti-abortion laws will be passed in next week's session. Royce West is my state senator and he was with Wendy all the way.
