#TXLEGE: Will Bonnen's scandals FORESTALL GUN CONTROL?!?

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:9

For as much as we LOATHE Scott Braddock, this isn't a bad point:

If there was a special session on gun violence, the first thing Texas House members might be tempted to do is entertain a motion to vacate the chair. When the presiding officer doesn't protect the institution, it can't do anything else effectively #TxLege #OdessaShooting https://t.co/v1gQaZh3cx

Good.

The last thing we need right now is for the legislature to attempt to "be effective."

For as much as we should have a special session on things like so-called "sick leave" ordinances, election integrity, ending public subsidies for labor unions, and the new Austin homelessness debacle...none of those seem to be in the cards.  Thus, special sessions are dangerous right now.  Stay home lege.

If Bonnen's scandals are a catalyst for keeping the lege at home, so much the better.

Bottom Line: Unintended consequences can do strange, strange, things sometimes....
