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

Biden will send in the US AG to arrest all Republicans who participated in the arrests of the DimWITS. Then FIB Dir Chris Wray will fly the Republicans to an undisclosed location to waterboard them all as the FIB tries to figure out who the White Radicals are behind this Texas insurrection.

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

I’m originally from Vancouver Canaduh. Years ago, there was a front page article from one of our leftard newspapers called the PROVINCE and it was a story on why the TEXAS RANGERS were operating on Canadian soil, aside from the fbi, cia etc. They were arresting a dude from TX who jumped the border into BC and was assisted by the RCMP.

It pissed off a lot of canadians on why American agencies such as the Texas Rangers can operate with impunity on “sovereign” canadian land lol

None of them are getting paid - because one of the bills they walked out on is the one that funds their and their staffs’ salaries. Ooops.

Round up the Rat Party judges and put them in solitary.
Dirty fookers can plead for Obummer to save them.
Dims are a bunch of cry baby whiners and are worthless without their pussy, pot smoking mulatto leader anyway.

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

This is a soft legislative arrest, being apprehended and brought to the legislative chamber to force a quorum.

Here is the House Rules for the current legislative session.

See page 87 (108 in the PDF):

Rule 5, Floor Procedure

Sec. 8. Securing a Quorum. When a call of the house is moved for one of the above purposes and seconded by 15 members (of whom the speaker may be one) and ordered by a majority vote, the main entrance to the hall and all other doors leading out of the hall shall be locked and no member permitted to leave the house without the written permission of the speaker. The names of members present shall be recorded. All absentees for whom no sufficient excuse is made may, by order of a majority of those present, be sent for and arrested, wherever they may be found, by the sergeant-at-arms or an officer appointed by the sergeant-at-arms for that purpose, and their attendance shall be secured and retained. The house shall determine on what conditions they shall be discharged. Members who voluntarily appear shall, unless the house otherwise directs, be immediately admitted to the hall of the house and shall report their names to the clerk to be entered in the journal as present.

Until a quorum appears, should the roll call fail to show one present, no business shall be transacted, except to compel the attendance of absent members or to adjourn. It shall not be in order to recess under a call of the house.

They don't even have to vote once they get there, they just have to be there. Once the vote is taken, the "arrest" is over.

The reason they are in DC (or anywhere out of state) is that the "sergeant-at-arms or an officer appointed by the sergeant-at-arms" does not have jurisdiction to arrest outside of Texas. Since this is not a criminal arrest, there are no extradition laws in play, either.

The last time I reported for Jury duty, after sitting waiting about an hour, the court clerk came in and said that “She’d never seen it before, but all defendants on the docket had taken a plea.” She sent all home and said we didn’t need to return.

Does this mean a citizen can arrest them, even outside of Texas borders? For example, if the flee to Cancun, can Ted Cruz intercept them there and haul them back?
