wendy davis alone, sort of. there were thousands of supporters stream iing into the capitol all day long. there were wrong lines to get in to see her. starting at 11:00 a.m., things went smoothly about halfway through her planned filibuster, she was challenged by one of her republican colleagues, he accused her of going off topic. the lieutenant governor 3re siding over the chamber at that time agreed with the republican senator and wendy davis had strike one against her. an hour later they did it again. when a fellow democrat asked for some of her testimony to be repeated. a fellow senator helped her put on a back brace. republicans objected to that. that was strike two, she can only have three of these things go against her before it kills her filibuster. she already had two strikes of the three she's allotted with five more hours still to go. it's basically zero margin for error under a micro scope of a room full of adversaradversarie. even the president of the united states was watching according to twitter.

wendy davis, folk hero. the pro-choice caucus in the united states house of representatives today put out a statement thanking senator davis who is, after all, a state senator, thanking her for her all day, all night filibuster. and on this show last night, cecile richards, national president of planned parenthood and completely and totally of texas politics, cecile richards here last night marveled about what happened with wendy davis this week in texas. >> there were folks obviously there on the senate floor, but thousands of people outside in the rotunda filling the capitol. and it was amazing. it was absolutely amazing. i have never seen anything like it in all my history of organizing or as a texan. >> now the big question in democratic politics is, what's next here? last night our own beloved chris hayes put the question of wendy davis' political future to wendy davis, herself. unlike most politicians, she actually answered the question. >> your state has not elected a statewide democrat for quite some

and now state senator wendy davis of texas says she personally will filibuster the antiabortion bill and just stand on the floor and personally keep talking until the midnight deadline to stop it from being voted on in the senate. that, of course, would stop everything in the special session from passing. stop a huge transportation spending bill, stop a big juvenile justice bill. but also this ban that would shut down 37 clinics in the state, it would ban abortion everywhere in texas at 20 weeks, it would effectively ban all legal abortion in all of west texas. wendy davis and the democrats say they will hold the floor all night, again, and as long as it takes to stop it. republicans, meanwhile, say they will do anything it takes to get it passed. and the protesters, the citizens' filibuster, has raised a real question as to who is actually going to win this fight. texas, who knew. we'll keep you posted. >>> this is what a heavily redacted document looks like. somebody sat at a desk all day and cloaked the heck out of about 80% of these documents with a sharpie marker. there's enough
