Updated at 3:12 a.m. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst returned to the Senate floor at 3:01 a.m., banged the gavel and announced that, regrettably, the constitutional time expired on the special session. ~ Austin American Statesman.

Yes, go on, blame the ‘mob’. 

“Speaking to reporters afterward, Dewhurst said he was furious about the night’s events.

“An unruly mob, using Occupy Wall Street tactics, disrupted the Senate from protecting unborn babies,” he said.

Dewhurst said SB5 passed 19-10, but with all the ruckus and noise, he couldn’t hear the proceedings, and now “I can’t sign the bill” so it can go to Gov. Rick Perry.”

He’s furious? We’re furious. Go on, have another special session, Governor Perry and Lt. Gov Dewhurst. We’ll shut it down again. You shut down Senator Wendy Davis and Senator Leticia van de Putte. So the people shut you down and you’re angry. Maybe you know what the people feel like now when you try to pull stuff without us, or behind closed doors, or after midnight.
