Vince Perez Perfectly Describes The Republican State Of Texas

This is getting a little ridiculous. Mr. Tenderholt, you're not recognized at this time. That is not a proper parliamentary inquiry. The members are.

CLAIM

Asserts that the bill allows lawsuits based on a lower standard of proof, preponderance of the evidence.
