So when do they have the vote, or should I saw quorum?
Are the Texas police going to just drop them off at the state house steps, or bring them inside to the House chamber where all the Republicans can declare a quorum and have the damn vote?

All the goofy stuff RATs are doing just make them look like American hating toddler obstructionists and against the well being of recovery for the American people. All their foreign judges, big mouth haters, are not popular with the people.
Pro crime, pro illegals, pro transhuman death cult.
We are moving on from their insanity. Just sick of them.

Not leaving the Capitol building accomplishes what? I don’t follow how this affects anything. What’s next, she’s only going to eat sardines for the next 7 days?
