“I am absolutely outraged if we are going to call it quits because one member decided to call it quits and leave.” 

Arizona state Rep. Alma Hernandez, venting frustration during a marathon overnight legislative session at the Arizona House of Representatives that began on February 25. Hernandez made the remark after a Republican lawmaker walked out around 5 a.m., briefly throwing the chamber into chaos with more than 20 bills still awaiting votes. Lawmakers had been debating for nearly 19 hours straight during crossover week, with tensions flaring over exhaustion, rushed debate and a process some said left little time to carefully consider legislation.
