For those that don't know Texas politics, the Senate and the House are roughly divided into thirds -> 1/3 liberal democrat, 1/3 old school country club moderate Republican, 1/3 Tea Party Republican. I can't think of a single non-rules vote that received unanimous support among all three camps in the past two legislative sessions. At no point in this bill's history ( committee hearings, open house vote, open Senate vote ) did it ever earn a single nay.

You couldn't get that vote for a proclamation that cancer is bad ( someone would vote against it because its a waste of time ).
