AUSTIN, Texas — House Speaker Dade Phelan late Tuesday signed 52 arrest warrants for Democrats who left the state for Washington D.C. in July and have yet to return to the House chamber for the second special legislative session of the year.

The warrants came after Texas House Republicans voted to direct state law enforcement to track down and compel the attendance of absent Democrats by a vote of 80-12, the second time such a vote has been taken during this quorum-bust.

The warrants, first reported by the Dallas Morning News, will be delivered to the House Sergeant-at-arms Wednesday morning, according to Phelan spokesperson Enrique Marquez.

Why aren't they (and the Democrat Party) charged with obstructing the legislature and conspiracy to do the same, just like the Jan 6 protestors?

The GOP still hasn't figured out that the Democrat Party is just a vast criminal conspiracy that must be annihilated.

And, the “storyteller media” continues to call them heroes. Will they have to eat some crow again. “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” -Sir Walter Scott.

It is not a threat unless you are willing to follow through with it. Good for the GOP.

Pelosi will slow the bill down, its only passed the Senate. maybe it still will be on the House table on Nov 3, 2022.

The Trump posse is coming and coming strong, The Dems are already getting twitchy, wanting lock downs and repeat the cheat situation.

This is not going to be just a roll in the hay for the Dems becaise of Nanzi Pelosifer. Trump is already so much in her head she stutters when speaking to the press.

I read the opening bit, and it said “wherever IN THE STATE you may find them”.

They’re not IN the state. Am I reading too much into this?

It is said that the first 90% of any job is the easiest, it is the last 10% that is hard.

The left have been working slowly and quietly for over a 100 years to reach this point. They have made so much progress because they have been able to hide their agenda from the general public. Now, to get the last 10% they have to become more visible and with viability they will get more resistance.

The Democrats are destroying the comfortable life that most Americans live causing real and mental pain. With pain comes anger, with anger comes action.

No one can predict what action the American people will take but I would suggest it will not be to support bigger government with more control over their lives.

The last I heard Abbott is just going to keep calling Special Sessions until they finally give up and come home. Then enough of them will be rounded up and brought to the legislature to give a quorum. And then the voting rights bill can be passed. They have the votes, they just need a quorum so they can actually vote.
