Best Parliamentary Maneuver
Rep. Glen Maxey on the Anti-Gay Marriage Bill
Maybe it was a bluff. But the Austin Democrat told other House members that he had 500 amendments ready and waiting to tag onto Wohlgemuth's proposed prohibition on gay marriage in the state.

And with the threat of a hours-long delay to deal with Maxey's amendments, Wohlgemuth's proposal went down in flames.
