State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, said the senators broke quorum in this second session because Dewhurst, who presides over the Senate, said he would not operate under the two-thirds rule. Van de Putte said the senators will not return unless the two-thirds rule is restored or Perry withdraws the call for a redistricting bill, both of which appear unlikely.

"I'm telling you, Waco said `No.' San Angelo said `No.' Lubbock said `No,' " Gallegos said.Prove it, Mario. Show the public some numbers.
I wish these yahoos would quit wasting my tax dollars and get their arses back to work.

State Sen. Mario Gallegos, D-Houston, said 90 percent of the testimony in hearings around the state last month opposed redistricting. "I'm telling you, Waco said `No.' San Angelo said `No.' Lubbock said `No,' " Gallegos said.
Their paid 'rat meeting packers said "no". Those of us who work for a living say "yes".

Probably because they come from "safe" districts. This is really about saving their own jobs since redistricting will erase them. I can't believe how below the fold this story is
Have texas republicans become so impotent?

They thought they were being smart going across state lines, eh? The Feds are now in play. Elected Dummycrats -- who took an oath of office -- are perpetrating a massive fraud on the tax-paying public. I stress the violation of the oath of office b/c in a recent case the Feds asked to see the oath taken by political appointees who are accused of using their positions for personal gain.
Congressional Oath of Office (similar to Texas oath):
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
