Re: Thursday session in senate
All I know is that I cant remember anything because I beat my head on the desk every time the camera pans to Sen. Ellis
Re: Thursday session in senate
2:30, and they're talking budget. Sen. Ellis just criticized the attempt to cut jury pay because "it violates the constitutional right of poor folks to serve on juries." Now that's novel -- he's concerned about our constitutional rights.

Re: Thursday session in senate
Point of order, sir, but could the distinguished senator from Houston please educate the rest of the legislature regarding which specific section of either the US or Texas Constitution mandates that poor people be paid a "fair wage" to serve their civic duty on a jury?J.R.@A&M wrote:2:30, and they're talking budget.

You know, its that stretchy rubber band part of the Constitution which politicians have taken to mean that the constitution says and protects whatever they call a right, be that to free Popsicles or all the booze pelosi wants on her private jets.austinrealtor wrote:Point of order, sir, but could the distinguished senator from Houston please educate the rest of the legislature regarding which specific section of either the US or Texas Constitution mandates that poor people be paid a "fair wage" to serve their civic duty on a jury?J.R.@A&M wrote:2:30, and they're talking budget.

Unskilled and skilled labor are paid the same when they serve on juries, so the financial impact of lost wages is greater for the middle class skilled labor than for unskilled poor people. That should make Ellis happy.
When in doubt
