I don’t know - this is Texas. Do they mean what they say?
Will they actually ty and succeed in arresting 50 Democratic lawmakers for FTA/AWOL?
Wouldn’t that be nice.
Could it snap back at anyone who FTA’s at a Texas congressional hearing?
Kabuki. Wake me when they are charged with something for which they can be extradited from Il.
Yeah. Well. This Texas House of wimp republicans had better do this and figure out quick they don’t work for the Bushes any more. New sheriff
Maybe California will offer them amnesty.
How did the AWOL vote pass if there weren’t enough demonicRATS to vote on it?
“ I don’t know - this is Texas. Do they mean what they say?”
Well they’re wimp Bush bots so …
So what happened to dismissing all the scofflaw democrats and replacing them?
The absentee members will not face civil or criminal charges, according to The Texas Tribune. The warrants only apply within Texas state lines, making them largely symbolic.
Big whoop, then, for even voting for this, TX House.
That’s up to AG Paxton.
This is merely the TX House giving a wrist slap to their MIA cohorts.
Could be different levels of numbers to vote, depending on the level of legislation being proposed. Simple majority for minor builds and two-thirds for major ones. Something like that.
I hope Texas follows through on this.
Issue bounties. Dead or alive.
I used to play pretend when I was a kid. But I grew out of it.
Pretty sure this never works.
What state has the manliest men?
We need more men to man up and blast this effeminate-pushing Leftist Women’s Movement to hell.
There, fixed it.
The only thing I appreciate about the Dems is when they hold the power, they use it.
If this were the Dems you can bet your bottom dollar that they would hunt the pubs down and haul them to jail. And they would t care about any fallout.
Will the pubs do what they can and should do? Nope.
What is happening to Texas?
Interesting history:

Democrats tried this tactic in 2021.
They caved after five weeks.
