The session is now halfway over, and no bills have passed, because of Cavanaugh’s filibuster.

“If this Legislature collectively decides that legislating hate against children is our priority, then I am going to make it painful — painful for everyone,” Cavanaugh said, according to a report from the Associated Press. “I will burn the session to the ground over this bill.”

In February, the state senator expressed a similar sentiment, saying that “if you want to inflict pain upon our children, I am going to inflict pain upon this body.”

In order to stall bills, Cavanaugh has taken to the floor and spent hours talking about ridiculous things such as “her favorite Girl Scout cookies, Omaha’s best doughnuts and the plot of the animated movie ‘Madagascar,'” the Associated Press reports.
