If you ever wondered how the Texas State Legislature manages to so efficiently pass such a blistering number of laws when "in session," here's how.

Next time you hear these folks waxing lyrical how it's so important to ensure that ineligible voters among the ordinary citizenry are excluded from the polls as to risk turning away larger numbers of eligible voters, consider if we might spring a few bucks to simply install locks on the voting panels in the capitol.

If they have to pass fewer laws because they can't gather up an actual quorum for their busy agenda, what a crying shame that would be.

I'm sure that their procedural rules, which they set themselves, don't carry nearly the weight of criminal law, but it boggles my mind that anyone there imagines that the rampant practice is the least bit ethical. As a result we have no idea which legislators supported which laws if they don't say so themselves, and can completely toss out the roll-call records.
