if you throw them out of office, you wont have a quorum until after the next election. Careful what you wish for here

[Omnivore-Dan]

Running away from voting as their job demands is dereliction of duty plain and simple. Lock them up!

View the filling....?

That sure sounds like a lot of work ...
Can I just pretend I did ...
and then make profound comments and in sights on it ?

But really that sounds like some good news
A little ACTION for a change
and a bribery charge to boot?

Depends on the rules.

Presumably, the quorum is some fraction of those eligible to serve. If they have been removed, they are not eligible to serve and the raw number needed is decreased.

Wu wu wu ! (Said like Curly)

Here, I will make it easy for you.

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Texas, the evil court jesters ran away. Then, the king sent out a decree that said:

“What is at stake here? Nothing less than the future of Texas. If a small fraction of recalcitrant lawmakers choose to run out the clock today, they can do so for any, and every, Regular or Special Session, potentially bankrupting the State in an attempt to get their way. That means every state budget could be held hostage until the whims of a small fraction of legislators is satisfied. It doesn’t have to be that way.

The rarely used writ of quo warranto exists to solve rare problems such as this. And this Court exists to solve cases with ramifications far beyond the individual parties to the case. So here too, the Court’s decision will determine if only one-third of the Legislature can dictate the outcome for 100% of Texans......”

(DEMOCRATS are sooooo predictable)

(Representative Wu and the other Texas House Democrats have shown a willful refusal to return)

Maybe Gene Wu got confused about his genes? 🧬🧬🧬🧬

Have they tried calling the Democrats by different pronouns?

” evil court jesters ran away”

hmmmm ... that would seem like a good thing to me ...

but ... if they won't come back .. can they get some more jesters or could they get more knights for the round table?

How many jesters do they need?

I have this great image in my head ... all those jesters prancing around
blue hair,green hair, no hair, long greasy hair ....
and funny hats
nose rings and dangley piercings ..

then ..... out from the glare of the western sun...
a man steps forward ... a stetson shading his face and a star on his chest. ....
the music stops..

I have come not to praise the Democratic Party; but to bury it.

genefortexas Proud to have joined thousands of Houstonians this Saturday to celebrate love, freedom, and visibility at the Houston Pride Parade!

In a time when LGBTQIA+ Texans are facing increasing attacks on their rights and dignity, it’s more important than ever to show up, speak out, and stand in solidarity.

We see you. We celebrate you. We’ll keep fighting with you!🏳️‍🌈

if you throw them out of office, you wont have a quorum until after the next election.

Your handle says "TexasFreeper," but you don't know the Texas legislative cycle. A special election would be held in September 2025 and the next legislative session in Texas isn't scheduled until January 2027. If you throw them out of office, it would delay the current special legislative session by about two months, but redistricting would still occur over a full year before the November 2026 elections.

Wu are you? Wu, Wu!

[Daaave]

Woohoo!

I guarantee you start removing them from office they will jump on the first plane home

I believe if they are removed from office he gets to appoint their replacement until a special election could be held.

“if you throw them out of office, you wont have a quorum until after the next election. Careful what you wish for here”

I know nothing about Texas law on this matter.

I suspect the Texas governor knows quite a bit about the law and has some good lawyers that know even more.

If there are democrat judges in Texas I’m sure they will try to block the governor but he might still prevail if he tries.

[politicket]

If they’re removed then a special election can be held in the next few months to seat their replacements. That part would be pretty straight-forward.
