So why no arrests? Why are they not in jail?

TX Dem legislators have pulled this stunt before — slithering off to Oklahoma in 2003 — to avoid their legislative responsibilities.

“Hope those on the run are not getting paid (or claiming deductions). They are not doing their job.”

Neither they, nor their staff is being paid, Neither they nor their staff will receive back pay. Abbott clamped down on that when they fled and it was upheld today in court also.

It’s not a Federal issue. They’d have to go to the US Supreme Court. Even the wise Latina wouldn’t touch this with a ten foot pole.

I think we should start calling it a “Texas quorum” when you drag back just enough Democrats in handcuffs to pass voter security legislation.

OFfer a reward for Texas bounty hunters to bring them in (conscious or unconscious).

It's not a Federal issue.

Homosexual "marriage" wasn't a Federal issue either...until it was. Osama Obama appointees can make *anything* a Federal issue.

But can someone figure out how to arrest and jail Republicans en masse?

Can’t wait for some random traffic court judge in New Jersey to overrule the Texas Supreme Court.

Yes, I’m joking. Now let’s hope I’m wrong.

Now go send the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) to go pick them up in DC.

The Texas Rangers have no jurisdiction outside of the state. However, a number of the Dems returned to the state after they got the injunction on Sunday, and they can be arrested and brought to the chamber.
