Boom. Oh the huge manatee!!!

[LibertyWoman]

This could get interesting. lol

[tennmountainman]

Jail every single one of them.

[Gay State Conservative]

So now it’s on to an Osama Obama appointee...

[beethovenfan]

Throw their asses in jail and throw away the key.

[Dacula]

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

[corkoman]

Bravo to the Texas Supes.

The flee baggers have to be going nuts - all out of beer.

[elpadre]

Is there any mechanism to declare the seats vacant? That the legislator has abandoned their seat??

[Noumenon]

Release the hounds!

[blueyon]

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

[NWFree]

Lock up the super spreading libtard criminals.

[joshua c]

the arrest is to force a quorum

[AAABEST]

The governor should take full advantage.

Throw them in jail where they belong.

[Yo-Yo]

[Ron H.]

The all Republican high court’s order comes at the request of Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan

So what. Does this somehow mean their ruling is not legal or valid? According to Dimocrats it does. LOL

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Lol. They will stay in Barbados and Cancun and let the TX RAT Mafia fight on their behalf.

[Wizdum]

ANY citizen of Texas or a business could sue the Texas Democrat party for injury because they fled the state.

Without a quorum to legislate, basic law to protect citizens from nefarious elections can't be addressed.

[Political Junkie Too]

putting in jeopardy the liberty of some Democrats who have returned to the state.

Enough with the hyperbole.

Texas Constitution Article 3 Section 10:

Sec. 10. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENTS FROM DAY TO DAY; COMPELLING ATTENDANCE. Two-thirds of each House shall constitute a quorum to do business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as each House may provide.

This isn't a hard arrest, as in being booked into jail.

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

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.

[BiglyCommentary]

Its get out the popcorn machine time. I hope mine burns out from use during this saga.

[DaBroasta]

In the name of reparations, it’s too bad they can’t be horse whipped the same way Democrat slave owners beat their runaway slaves when they were returned to the plantation.
