Last week was a busy one for Texas political junkies, with a major Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act and a special session-ending filibuster by state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, topping the long list of newsworthy stories. On Friday night, the Trib's Alana Rocha and other veteran Capitol reporters attempted to make sense of it all for an episode of KLRU-TV's "The Texas Rundown."
