Judge Issues TRO that Texas Democrats Cannot be Arrested

Texas Tribune
A state district judge in Travis County issued an order blocking the arrest of House Democrats who have broken quorum by leaving the state, paving the way for those who remain outside of Texas to return home without threat of apprehension.
State District Judge Brad Urrutia, a Democrat, granted the temporary restraining order late Sunday night restricting Gov. Greg Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan from “detaining, confining or otherwise restricting” the free movement of House Democrats within the state or issuing any warrants ordering their confinement.
The order expires in 14 days unless extended by Urrutia. The court will hear arguments on a temporary injunction on Aug. 20, and Abbott and Phelan must show why a temporary injunction should not be filed against them.

Shocked I tell you! let me say that if he was appointed by a Democrat, which I am sure he was, he needed to file a recusal over conflict of interest.

They're just flaunting their rejection of the rule of law.

This. I hope all those idiots come rushing back home thinking that they are protected and get dragged kicking and screaming to the building

Who is going to stop him? The Dems/left get to make the rules today as the right capitulates to their whims!

The judge has made his decision. Let’s see him enforce it.

Abbott can just ignore it. The state House has the authority to issue the order to go fetch them..they can be fetched. The moment their feet hit the floor, the quorum is established and they can go run away crying if they want.
What will the judge do? He can't arrest anyone...he can't do anything about this.

Does not mean the Texas Rangers could not arrest them in DC or on a plane or if they have a layover.

Can we send Dog The Bounty Hunter to return them to Texas?

Unfortunately, no. Just like this judge has no "power" here...the state reps have no power outside of Texas. But, if these fricks step into Texas, I believe they WILL be gathered up and sent to the building and the Texans will say to this judge "Now what?"

Arrest the judge.

Well come on home and see what happens

So, this is some sweat bait……..,.,.y’all come on back now, you here….
