However, the Senate created a worse problem. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick was told ahead of time that at least one of the Senate amendments if adopted, would violate House rules. This would allow the anti-gunners to kill Constitutional Carry in the House on a technical violation — before the House could even decide to concur or go to a conference committee. Despite knowing this, the Lt. Governor still pushed through his packet of amendments and refused to listen to multiple warnings. [More]
Tell me that wasn't intentional.
And technically, I think the word I used was "poltroon."
UPDATE (via Mack H):
And Donald Trump continues to be Donald Trump.

Pure coincidence, Dandy Dan (former sports radio 'personality', bankrupt restaurant owner and radio station entrepreneur) would never have cooked up, colluded in, or conspired with any effort to kill this bill, supposedly an RPT priority. Amazing how little things that poison a clear bill get plugged in well past dark.
Oddly enough a recent "Texas GOP Vote" mail blast featured a screed by a well known R party amnesty champion who decried the concept of no-permit carry.
The Texas R party, though helmed by Allen West whom I believe supports our efforts, is riddled with termites, self dealing crapweasels, outright D collaborators and hand-picked saboteurs.
Poltroon is too gentle a label for these 'gentlemen and ladies'.
Patrick has been on the TX political scene since the mid '90's when he cooked up a "Houston Crime Commission" to get publicity and start his move to the lege. In short, if he benefits in any way by tossing us under the bus, we may consider ourselves tossed. Unfortunately he will be re-erected.
