Gee, I hope a bunch of Mexicans don’t start squatting in the vacant house while they’re on vacation.
I mean they could burn it to the ground or maybe something worse. I really hope they remembered to turn off the gas, unplug the toaster, and turn off the water. Who knows what could happen🤗

Booyah!

[Jacquerie]

The TX legislature meets in January in odd-numbered years, and outside of special sessions, meets for 140 days.

If they don’t clean up their electoral system this year, the rot will carry over into the 2022 elections.

So yeah, keep the special session open. When the rats return, handcuff them, escort them to the House and lock the doors.

Thanks!!

I would bet money that NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS TO THEM!

[EastTexasTraveler]

They are criminals, and I would treat them as such. Use their own tactics against them. Even if they are out of state, I would use pre-dawn no knock raids of all their homes and offices and confiscate every electronic device just like they do.

To me the key word you said is JOB. If I ran out of my workplace I’d be replaced real quick with someone who CAN do the job.

Wonder if the arrest record would disqualify them from serving in office..

This is all a show...nothing more on both sides.

Unless they arm up..and really do something.

[CJ Wolf]

Oh great Biden protect us!

What is the charges for the arrest warrants?

[lepton]

Actually, the House Democratic Caucus paid for it.

U.S. House of Representatives, House Democratic Caucus, or the State version?

I believe Abbott said if they are arrested they will be “cabined”, his word, back to the House where they will be able to proceed with the voting.

Plain words, no jail, forced to do the job for which they were elected.

[FoxInSocks]

My understanding, the Texas House Democratic Caucus.

"Abbott will do NOTHING."

Looks like you are right. I saw part of an interview last night where Abbott indicated he would take no action unless the representatives came back to the state voluntarily except he did say that he would keep calling special sessions so they would not be able to resume their normal lives unless they came back.
