Best Legislative Moment

Wendy David Filibuster, Sine Die

"Worst. Session. Ever." That was the consensus about the budget-slashing, tea party-driven 82nd Legislature, and the only saving grace was how it ended. Wendy Davis, the first-term senator from Fort Worth, unleashed a measured and thoughtful filibuster that derailed GOP plans for an early summer and blasted their iniquitous school finance schemes.
