House Republicans learned what it's like to be a bullied minority today.
After failing in their efforts to stop an anti-bullying bill or amend it to remove a list of minority groups yesterday, they had some plans to try again today.
But after introducing the bill, sponsor Rep. Rick Glazier moved to vote on it immediately.
Typically, the House has some debate before a motion to vote.
Republican Minority Leader Paul Stam, an Apex Republican, quickly proposed a five-minute recess, which would take precedence over the call to vote on the bill.
But that motion failed, and the bill was approved 72-47, with no further comment.
