Unborn Texans over 20 weeks old have an enemy in delay tactics. Pro-life Texans should be on the look out for them in the upcoming special session.
An SB5 replica bill should need virtually nothing besides basic legislative procedure. Watch out for things like putting other issues first, taking time off, putting up a different pro-life bill so they can argue about it, and so on.
This is the season that politicians try to get grassroots support for their next primary. They will ask people what they can do to gain their support.
Though understandable, it not a particularly fair question to ask grassroots leaders. There is no promise a politician can make that will mean more to the grassroots than a politician’s record, and grassroots leaders aren’t in it for perks.
The days of getting credit for giving a good effort are rapidly coming to a close. The one thing politicians can do for themselves is get results.
Besides, if GOP leaders can’t get results with 95 Republicans in the House, 19 in the Senate, Republicans in every major statewide office, and virtually all of them claiming to be conservative on every issue, they shouldn’t expect primary season promises to get them very much.
