I can understand the court being reluctant to act because the implication might be that the state police can then force the legislature to convene. That is a worrisome development but it illustrates just how wrong the Demoncrats are to "filibuster" the meetings of their own legislative body.

Assuming that the Texas Constitution allows the Senate to decide "where" it shall meet, I think the Republicans should just pack their bags and pursue the Democrats. If the Democrats are in Albuquerque, then convene in the lobby of the hotel and take role. The vivid picture of them calling out the names of people hiding upstairs could help to clarify just how serious their obstruction is.

Art. 3, Sec. 58.....
The Legislature shall hold its sessions at the City of Austin, which is hereby declared to be the seat of government.

At this stage I don't see the problem..... the legislature isn't in session so what's to do. When and if the next session is called Sen. Whitmire has said he will be in attendance and thus the necessary 21 Senators will be in chamber assuming no Republicans run and Armbrister stays.... Let the remaining 10 stay in NM or where ever.... who cares at that stage if a quorum is secured.
