It's in a Twitter thread but it's worth a read. Sounds like Democrats in the Colorado Senate, who took power last elections, are trying to fast-track a whole lot of legislation. I'm not sure if there's more context surrounding this and I'm sure there is, but Republicans attempted to delay scheduled votes by reading the entire 2,023 page "non-controversial clean-up bill" in its entirety. Which is allowed by the Colorado Constitution.
It would have taken upwards of a week or more, and after protesting against Democrats who wanted to have bots read it (as there's no requirement that it be a human) Republicans bristled that it violated the "spirit" of the law.
In the end it took 5 robots 4 hours at 650 words per minute to read the full thing, and that's on top of 3 hours of reading by a human prior.
State-level Republican obstructionism seems to still be going strong following all the power-grabs from Republican legislatures trying to gut the authority of the Governor's office before Democrats took over.
