There was a mini-protest in the Texas House Tuesday afternoon against the Texas Senate.

House members in both parties sides stood and cheered, as representatives decried the Senate for not referring bills to committee that were passed out of the House chamber.

At one point the back doors of the chamber were even swung open so that senators could hear the shouts of “righteous indignation” from representatives, as one observer put it.
