No they will just steal the money to pay the fines from the taxpayers. They will put in one of thier columns like misc. expenses.

In the end, even the biased Rats realized that this tactic of neglecting their jobs was only going to earn them the ire of the voters. Being a sore loser crybaby only gets you sympathy for a few minutes and then becomes extremely annoying.

Pushing the Texas situation as a "Republican attack on democracy" is now a national, Democrat mantra. It is, of course, a total lie. But they are not being adequately challenged on that. I saw Lanny Davis spew that garbage on Fox News last night. Neither "Jerry" Rivera nor Divd Gergen raised a word or a lip to point out that Lanny was lying through his teeth.

This was one of the subjects I wrote on, this week. Click below.

Congressman Billybob

Latest column, "An Open Letter to Howard Dean," discussion thread on FR. Article will probably be on ChronWatch also.

after fighting to a draw three times this year

Fighting to a draw??? The rats ran away twice violating their Constitutional duty in order to hang on to the "shrewdest gerrymander of the 1990s". Can you say bias?

Staff sergeants-at-arms, enforcing rules against demonstrations, plan to watch visitors in the overhead gallery for signs, noisemakers - even sock puppets like those brandished in the House gallery after 51 Democrats stopped the first push to redraw districts in May.

From the local progressive site:

-----------------------------------------------

Monday, September 15, 11:15 a.m Showdown at High Noon
The third special session is set to begin at "high noon". You and as many of your friends and family as can make it, should be in the Senate Gallery at the Texas State Capitol in Austin to watch the proceedings. Plan to take your seat at the Senate gallery by at least 11:15. Gallery Captains will be wearing red bandanas on their arms. They will give you further instructions on this respectful show of support.

When the ten Senators enter the chamber, we should clap. The chair will no doubt pound the gavel and ask for silence. We should respect his wishes.
Do we bring white socks this time?

-----------------------------------------------

Sounds like they will try to behave themselves. You gotta expect some type of little hissy fit walk out or other demonstration.

If you have the time today, you know where to be.

After the completion of his next term as governor, what do you say to running Perry for Senator?

It would quite a treat to have a senator with b@lls!
