The issue isn’t decorum. It’s jurisdiction.
Trump’s FBI?
These people really think it’s a private police force
Do all the ‘Biden FBI gymuys’ automatically quit when a new president comes in? Em. No.
Well, who does have the authority to get you back to your home country when you flee? The only way I’m aware of to extradite people from one US member state to another is to get the Fed’s involved, since law enforcement from one state do not have authority in other states.
“ And bringing them back how effective with that be? Are they expected to vote to approve the redistricting?”
Just reduce the number needed for a quorum by the percentage of available pols.
Federal courts can compel extradition, but I think they’d look at this matter as too political to consider.
But it makes no difference. None of the legislators have been accused of a crime* and there has been no extradition request.
* They are being accused of a violation of legislative procedure, not of a crime.
Typical liberal goal post moving. The question is can a federal agent assist in state criminal issues.
The answer is yes.
The limits are that they would still have to follow extradition processes UNLESS it was also a federal crime they are accused of. The fed can absolutely arrest someone and hold them for 24 hours maximum in most cases. They would need to follow appropriate extradition procedures for nonfederal crimes.
A state can refuse to extradite if they chose as long as it is a state crime only and there is no reciprocal agreement. This still does not prevent a fed from arresting and detaining for 24 hours for the purpose of pursing court proceedings on extradition.
You’re the one jerking around attacking anyone who tries to provide some insight, I would guess because your ideology is more important than facts and these facts hurt your feelings.
Wing that lib
The federal government should appoint federal examiners to determine the adverse affects of runaway hiding representatives on the district voters they “represent” per the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
They are potentially being charged with taking bribes to flee the state responsibilities of the legislature, that is a crime, they made that a crime the last time the Dems did this in Texas
Do you even bother researching anything or just spout of baseless opinions?
They don’t need the Dems vote to pass the legislation
Just need them to have a quorum for a vote
“The question is can a federal agent assist in state criminal issues.”
Please name the crime, state or federal.
And given there’s been no extradition request, the idea that the federal government should interject itself in a political squabble is bizarre.
This is one federal law that could apply:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilative_Crimes_Act
However I agree with other posters that when someone violates state law and then flees the state that the FBI has the authority to pursue and detain them.
If you commit a murder in state A and flee to state B you have not committed the federal crime of murder. Your federal crime is being an interstate fugitive.
AND again, I did not state an extradition request has been made, you do realize you cannot make such a request until someone is at least confirmed to be within your borders through some legally recognized means? More often that means within the state’s custody.
Unless you can actually start asking and talking with some sense I am not furthering anymore replies to your rants.
The compacts clause and the "full faith and credit" clause were meant to control how states interact with each other, with Congressional oversight.
That's not what Illinois is doing to Texas. Illinois is supporting a dissident minority faction to obstruct the lawful government of another state.

And.....the FBI is doing this without court order? The only grounds have been political requests by the Texas legislature, the Texas governor, and a Texas senator, NOT by a Texas court.
Unrestrained federal police power is something which no one, MAGA, RINO, or libertarian, should want.
“”Unrestrained federal police power is something which no one, MAGA, RINO, or libertarian, should want.””
You mean.... “unrestrained federal police power”... like that would be involved in maybe... a federal raid on a former and future president’s residence, looking for documents to cover the political @sses of the party in power at the time? Like that?
“It’s a federal matter because one state (Illinois) is interfering with the legitimate operations of another state (Texas) with the consent and active involvement of its Governor (Pritzker).”
Interference in anther state’s “legitimate operations” is a pretty loosey-goosy claim. If the Texas legislature thinks that the Democrats’ flight is a crime, let them make that claim in a Texas court.
You think that your argument STRENGTHENS the validity of Cornyn’s request?
