I think the salaries of these "public servants" should be permanently revoked.

To the Texas Senate:

Pack your bags.

Come home. Nothing happening in Austin is good for Texas, particularly not when Republicans would rather waste $56,000 a day than compromise with Democrats enough to get a redistricting plan passed.

Better yet, now's the time for the other senators to grab a summer vacation.

We could call them the Traveling Twelve.

Without them, there is no quorum in the Senate and no point in blowing any more of our money. The Republicans' win-at-all-costs approach has cost us perhaps $1.4 million and counting. [End]

you have got it bass ackwards - it is the demonRATS who like normal, don't think they need to obey the law, if they don't win. They are pathetic, unscrupulous, and without honor.

They don't deserve to be called Texans, and totally fail to live up to the Texas spirit and the spirit of the Alamo.
