There must be other important legislation that needs to be passed. With the Chicken D's gone, why don't the pubbies work on that??

I wonder if they could be declared non-residents after 30 days
of unexcused absence from their duties, and therefore replaced?

State Senator Van de Putte is, like all but one of the "Elusive Eleven," bought and paid for by the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and various of its well-heeled members. This doesn't have diddly squat to do with "minority voting rights." It has to do with honest politicians, described in Maryland as, "Once he's bought, he stays bought."

The federal court case claiming that the change in the rules of the Texas Senate "dilute minority voting rights" will be dismissed. The internal procedures of any legislative body are no business of any federal court. The Supreme Court has so ruled concerning such rules in Congress.

Should the federal trial court in Texas ignore the Supreme Court precedents and rule otherwise, it will be slapped down on appeal. This is a junk case, and will suffer the fate of a junk case.
