The Texas Supreme Court has voided a state district judge’s temporary restraining order barring the arrest of Democratic lawmakers who have refused to return to the Legislature, putting in jeopardy the liberty of some Democrats who have returned to the state.

The all Republican high court’s order comes at the request of Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan who petitioned the Texas Supreme Court on Monday to overturn a ruling by a Travis County state district judge that blocked them from ordering the arrest of Democratic lawmakers.

Is there any mechanism to declare the seats vacant? That the legislator has abandoned their seat??

Hope those on the run are not getting paid (or claiming deductions). They are not doing their job.

What makes you think a Federal judge will try to overrule the Texas Supreme Court? When Trump was still President, the main stream media kept repeating that Trump can only pardon himself against federal crimes, not state crimes. This is a Texas crime. I don’t see federal judges interfering with state crimes.

The governor should take full advantage.

Throw them in jail where they belong.

>>>Now go send the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) to go pick them up in DC.<<<

Those cowards are so cowardly that the Texas Rangers minor league team could go round them up . . . probably even a little league pee-wee team called the Rangers.

‘Round em’ up, cowboys!
