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

texas state representative wendy davis spoke for 11 hours before being ruled out of order. republicans eventually forced a vote on the bill after the session ended. governor rick perry will now have to call the legislature into a special session and the supporters will have to reintroduce it. the measure would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy without exceptions for rape and incest. turning now to the supreme court and wham civil rights activists are calling a devastating ruling. in a 5-4 decision tuesday, the court struck down a key part of the voting rights act widely considered the most important piece of civil rights legislation in history.

wendy davis alone, sort of. there were thousands of supporters streaming 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 presiding 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 adversaries. even the president of the united states was watching according to twitter. and then

wendy tyler. i must say that the tip of the day about keeping private things private should be repeated on every talk show. enough with the sharing about personal things. i am with you, wendy, you will never win by telling people about your personal life. it will always result in unintended consequences that are bad. glad you like the tip. and finally tonight, another factor tip of the day. to many children the internet is opiomania dickiv opium. an addictive substance that takes them far from reality. the primary source of recreation is a little screen. here is the tip. make them leave the house! force them to go outside and do something. lock the door behind them! for example, i'm taking some urchins to alaska this summer and also to ireland. i'm lucky enough to have the resources to do that but if i didn't i would drive them some place close so they could see new things. of course, they will be whining. of course, there will. so what! get them out into the real world on a regular basis. if you
