A Democrat judge out of Travis County, Texas, sided Sunday with Democrat lawmakers, pejoratively called “fleebaggers,” who fled the state in protest of new election integrity laws.
State District Judge Brad Urrutia granted a temporary restraining order “blocking the arrest of House Democrats who have broken quorum by leaving the state, paving the way for those who remain outside of Texas to return home without threat of arrest,” KWTX reported.
More than 50 House Democrats fled the Lone Star State to Washington, DC, in early July to block the passage of an elections bill they said would restrict voting access. Those same lawmakers were photographed smiling and maskless on a plane and were later seen with a case Miller Lite — prompting critics to note that alcohol sales require photo ID — something that, when applied to voting, Democrats routinely describe as suppressive and racist.
Unless Urrutia extends the order, it will expired in 14 days. According to the station, the court will hear arguments on a temporary injunction on August 20 where Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) and House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) must show why a temporary injunction should not be filed against them.

Fine, arrest their spouses for outstanding traffic tickets.
Hit them for taking an undeclared political contribution. Their flight to DC, hotel rooms (4 star, I hear) and meals were paid by someone or someone’s. That logic nailed other criminals like Al Capone.
Has ANYONE followed the money?
Who paid for their private jet flight?
Who has been paying their meals and lodging?
I can’t imagine that all of these Texas lawmakers are so independently wealthy that they can just take off for DC for weeks on end.
DeSantis would do it.
They are still being paid their per diem.
That’s gotta change, I think. You should only be paid when you’re in the legislature.
It’s in their rules that they can be arrested for what they did.
It would warm my heart to see a few Democrats “inconvenienced” every now and then.
Arrest them anyway, and arrest the RAT fake judge Brad Urrutia.
Arrest the effing judge, too.
“Who paid for their private jet flight?”
‘crat caucus money I believe
“Who has been paying their meals and lodging?”

Audit their tax returns next April.
They’re awol and insubordinate. Didn’t they take an oath of office?
I would arrest the traitors, INCLUDING the JUDGE and make sure they all got to share the same cell.

THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION. ARTICLE 3. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT ... Two-thirds of each House shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as each House may provide.

Impeach the judge.
It can be done.
Who didn’t see that coming, right from the get go!
When Dems put on a staged show they don’t open it until everybody’s got their script, roles and in place. There’s always act 1 followed by 2, 3, and 4.... More if they take curtain calls.
Ignore the judge
Arrest the judge too.
LOL! Posted mine before i saw yours. Friigin’ great, no, awesome minds....... 😄👍
