Texas Judge Says Governor Can’t Have Runaway Democrats Arrested

Kevin Daley • August 9, 2021

Fugitive lawmakers fled to Washington to avoid voting on a voting rights bill

Most judges in my book are one of the lowest forms of life. Who the hell made the, God anyway?

[sport]

You are correct. The Law now is what they say it is. The Coup done away with Constitutional Government. Most [99 and 99/1,000,000] of the people pretend that we are under the Constitution. Those in Power allow the sheep tp feel that way to keep them pacified.

[Political Junkie Too]

Judge: that section of the Constitution was for when Democrats want to force Republicans to vote. It wasn't intended to be used against us. < /sarc>

“This is an internal legislative branch concern.”

Which is why the governor really has no role to play. The idea that the legislature is independent of the executive goes back a long way in Anglo-American government. The Queen (and her representative) is not allowed to set foot in the House of Commons.

Surprised he’s not from Hawaii..... I

[lodi90]

Is there not a single Republican governor who will stand their ground? Governor Doormat won’t engage the judicial branch on this one. Dems are fighting to win. GOP is clearly doing what they think is the minimum required.

They’re guilty not only of dereliction of duty but, worse, of accepting political bribes by going to DC on an all expense paid trip.

[jimfree]

Declare the seats vacant.

[Nuocmam]

Can he dock their pay for failure to show up at work?

[arthurus]

Just keep calling special sessions until they return or until the end of their terms.

[VetoBill]

Quarantine them for covid.

[ptsal]

Only Speaker Phelan has a play in this poker game.

[VTenigma]

You might be on to something there. The budget reconciliation will probably doom us.

[ptsal]

Payroll Seven thousand per YEAR

Bribes and donations are the key.

[Secret Agent Man]

Declare the seats vacant

Appoint new reps

[patriotfury]

Okay... 04:00am, full on TX SWAT team, full breach, everyone in the judges family arrested and judge processed for obstruction of justice.

Hey, I can dream can’t I...

[myerson]

Separation of powers...Legislative vs Judicial. Texas constitution specifically empowers the legislators to arrest these members, so the judge should be ignored.

[Jay W]

How many divisions does the judge have?

[Joe Boucher]

Some “judges” should be put in stocks in public squares for all to throw rotten fruit and old car parts at.
