Two others prompted hoots in the Upper Chamber: One by Hinojosa would have barred thrice-divorced Texans from marrying again, and another by Van de Putte would have required married heterosexual couples to have sex.

  • It is more tom-foolery than jack-assery. It is pretty interesting to get a different perspective of what goes on in the Lege from Amber. She explains that amendments like that are internal jokes to the Legislature--legislative sarcasm if you will. For background, check out In The Pink Texas' coverage of the topic.
