"Partisanship and ambition are not unusual in a state capitol, but here in Texas, right now," Davis says, launching her filibuster, "it has risen to a level of profound irresponsibility and the raw abuse of power." Under Texas Senate rules, Davis can't eat, drink, use the restroom, sit, or even lean against her desk during the filibuster.
