- thank you, senator davis. [dramatic music] senator campbell, your point of order is well taken and is sustained. [gavel bangs] the chair recognizes senator hegar. [crowd yells] - they were so upset. they understood that the rules were being bent and broken and twisted in order to bring the filibuster to an end. [crowd yells] - senator watson, can you hear me?
