Live at the Capitol this morning, Senator Steve Erdman moves to suspend the rules πͺ He says, "If you like the way things have went the first 50 days, vote against this rule change.
If you would like to get your bill to the floor for debate, vote for this rule change." #neleg
Speaker Jon Arch begins right off by saying he supports this rule change, then cites Mason's rules as to how this is perfectly acceptable. #neleg
Senator Conrad, from the fightin 46 π€‘ cites the wildly fake news @JournalStarNews (@ChrisDunkerLJS) & says this is 'problematic' & 'unprecedented', using hyperbolic language and sounding crazy. She's big madπ³
30 votes needed to suspend the rules. Are there enough? We think so..
Senator Moser says that maybe
the rule suspension is unprecedented but the actions of his colleagues are unprecedented also π―π
Cooler heads prevailing here this morning on the floor, it would seem the @NebraskaDems are scrambling π«π«π«
@JaneRaybould, seen here wearing a mask with nothing more than a crash test dummy, says something about football and rules. She provides little substance, so has to yield her time to Senator Deboer.. We're often not sure what Jane is saying, & it is no different here π€·ββοΈ #neleg
Senator @George4NE Dungan spends all of his time this morning trying to remind everyone he's a lawyer... π€
Really guys, look, he's a real lawyer okay. All the sentence summersaults prove it π€‘ #neleg
Senator Tom Briese says the integrity of legislative process is at stake and a change of rules is warranted.
He thanks the Chairman of the rules Committee (Erdman) for bringing this forth and he will support the change ππ
#neleg
Senator Steve Erdman, well respected and also Chairman of the rules committee, cites Senator Conrad's own words where she said-
"We can do this."
He goes on to say we can and we should πͺπ―
#neleg
Senator @JohnforNE Fredrickson uses his time this morning to say he has heartburn π₯π₯π₯
Somebody get this guys some @TUMSOfficial !!!
@NebraskaDems really laying it all out there today π€‘
Senator Linehan tells heartburn kid that she's been around for awhile & she wants to get some things done this year.
"We need to take care of the business of the people who sent us here." She says.
"I'm absolutely for suspending the rules so we can get our work done." #neleg
Senator @SenMcKinneyLD11 says:
"We need to wake up and be leaders and do something this year." #neleg
@senatormachaela Cavanaugh starts dronning on about mutilating children, or something.
As you can see here, even @George4NE and her own brother, @JohnCavanaughNE along with everyone else, isn't even listening to her.
What a winning strategy from @NebraskaDems π€‘
@JustinTWayne called for a point of order and has now called to overrule the chair.
He is making some decent points, and at least speaking about something relevant to the situation at hand, instead of going on emotional tirades like almost all the rest of @NebraskaDems #neleg
We will keep you updated as the body now has the opportunity to speak on what @JustinTWayne has brought up.
Underlying theme here, even as Wayne pointed to, is that things need to get done.
Sen. Steve Erdman genuinely recognizes @JustinTWayne for all he has done for his district
Members of Nebraska #fakenews media wondering how they can best paint this for a half dozen or so radical leftists on the floor of the Leg.
Always looking to provide propaganda for some reasonπ€·ββοΈ
@ChrisDunkerLJS missing from the photo as we heard he took a call from @georgesoros
Senator @JaneRaybould uses her time to complain about another Senator saying some are whining...
She then proceeds to whine the rest of the time π€
Thankfully they sell tissues at SuperSaver! π€§
@senatorblood is yelling for the gavel on the floor of the legislature and trying to tell people to shut up!
She said that she is unable to think while other people are speaking π€
These are hard times for those who are easily confused, and @senatorblood is clearly one of them π€‘
@senatormachaela Cavanaugh now says that a change to the rules would in a sense blow up the session..
And yet, all along she has taken pride in saying that she had hoped to burn this session to the ground- her own words!
It is rich coming from Cray Cray Maochaela πΊ #neleg
"We are blowing up this session. The session is over." - @NebraskaMegan
This is what @NebraskaDems have to offer... Absolutely nothing but destruction, victimhood, lies, and obstruction to anything meaningful or positive for the citizens of this state. #sad
@JournalStarNews @OWHnews @NE_Examiner @PaulHammelNE @ChrisDunkerLJS @fredmknapp @ErinBamer will the mainstream narrative accurately depict what's went on here this morning? What will you leave out or skew to try and shape a certain narrative?? #fakenews
Senator @JustinTWayne tells his petulant colleagues on the left to stop operating on emotion βοΈ #neleg
The motion to overrule the chair has failed...
Body has recessed until 1PM today
