Kumbaya----Will It Mean Anything at the End of the Day?
A Methodist minister opened Wednesday's Senate session - 45 minutes late - by singing the opening verses of Kumbaya, the universal chant of unity. It may be all down hill from there as senators were barely in session before recessing to meet privately in their respective Democratic and Republican caucuses. The topic - how Senate rules would affect the controversial voter ID bill that has sharply divided the two parties. They're supposed to come back at 12:30, but nobody believes that timeline.
Will today be the second Senate face-off in two days over the House-passed bill that would require Texans to show a government ID or two other pieces of identification before they would be allowed to vote?
My apologies Karen - but it looks like there may be some interesting action in the Senate today. As you know, it's usually the other way around with most of the color on each legislative day centered in the House. Maybe you were due for a boring day. On the other hand, you could get something started. How about the latest House members to consider running for speaker?

I hear Bob Garrett is throwing his hat into the ring.
