Texas Supreme Court allows for arrest of Democrats who don't show up to Legislature

[justoffal]

Abbott should just start appointing replacements right now and let the chips fall.

The only person with standing to oppose Abbott replacing each fleeing Dem is that very Dem who fled. They must file a lawsuit to stop it and appear in person to proceed. When they appear in court to fight Abbott's replacing them, have the bailiff arrest them immediately. Abbott doesn't even need to be right about whether he can simply appoint replacements. He just needs to force a response. It becomes moot after that.

You got a point......lol....

With their voters, they do

They support taking action to block the vote
Stopping Voter Suppression is THAT important

They're response to blocking the vote is:

1. Debate

2. The vote

Fleeing your responsibility to your oath of office is NEVER a legitimate action. Elections have consequences, remember?

There IS NO FUCKING VOTER SURPRESSION. That is the number one fact of the entire debate.

 

[Darkwind]

You got a point......lol....

Yep. I agree that would be a great course of action for Abbot to take. The question is, does Abbot have the sack to do it?

Think they will be put in solitary confinement and refused bail like the people arrested from the FBIs false flag on Jan. 6th?

Who cares about that.

Abbott should appoint replacements and dare the Dems to return and stop him.

Either way, the Dems are going to lose.

 

[2aguy]

More reason not to return

Let the legislature cease to function

That is about one of the few things we agree on......keeping any politician from working is a good thing for everybody...

Abbott has no sack. That's the only real problem here.

Ageed.

Te people voted for whom they wanted , why would Rightwinger want to deny them they're will?

Because the democrats abandoned their voters when they ran away like cowards.....?

 

[struth]

So why should they return if they will be arrested?

Right now, they have the moral high ground
Fighting voter suppression

Abbott has to win it back

hahaha moral high ground!? voter suppression! hahaha

Sounds like it's the GOP in Texas who are kicking and screaming. How's the Covid doing?

Kicking and screaming? Hardly.

The people got rid of the last group of Democrats who took.a leak on the voters of Texas about a generation ago by taking our state business to another state. We will do it again at the polls and also we have a way here to bypass any state congress critters who shame Texas by taking our privacy national. We will send them back to start over in the communist-loving states they soughtvout to destroy our State's freedom to serve the loving people our state residents are. And Mr. High and Mighty Judge of the Whole world may have crossed the line by issuing a wrongful ruling on free speech exercised by another branch of our state government.

Here you have to commit a crime before a judge convicts you for it. That judge may be just a little to big for his britches. Now here, that's worse than a crime, because britches weren't meant to be split open to show something that ought not to be seen.

No, because I'm not a fucking partisan idiot magaturd like you. I read more than one article about it. Especially the Texas Tribune, where they spell out:

Democrats who are arrested would not face criminal charges and could not be jailed or fined. Law enforcement officers carrying out arrest orders by state officials could only try to bring them to the House chambers.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Yup

This is politics. You use every tool that is available to you
Dems need to rule from a minority even if it means crippling the Texas Legislature

fine lets have all 50 republican senators leave dc so the dems cant vote in any new spending bills.
