re: TX dems flee state

Oh really I had no idea please tell me more

The Rangers’ jurisdiction ends at the state line. So these dems have to stay outside the borders of Texas. This is hard for state lawmakers who don’t have deep pockets to basically live out of state for a month so they will cave eventually. It’s like a 7-year running away from home because mommy and daddy took his toys away.

I agree arrest them and bring them to the capitol and vote.

That being said, quorum is not about party but participants. The use of avoiding quorum like this undermines democracy where it was intended to not allow midnight votes with no one present to pass laws. These freaking leftist were just yelling about threats to democracy and they go do this shite and it just proof they don't care about anything but power.

Fine and arrest and then kick them out after the vote, strip them from any committee seats and let the chips fall where they may.

What crime is being committed ?

That was a question if possible to be shown? Maybe malfeasance or similar

Malfeasance of office maybe ?

Has not met the legal standard in America up to this point


Now Governor Abbott has the authority as governor to arrest state senators and state representative or to direct to Texas Rangers to arrest them to force them to the capital to a vote but has no authority outside the state of Texas and the federal government because I know you people are going to say well why doesn't the FBI or ICE arrest them?

It's an issue in the state of Texas there's no enforcement outside the state of Texas no right to enforce the authority of the governor of Texas outside the state

Let me give you an example and lawyers can chime in on this i'm not a lawyer although I do understand the laws that the state legislature and texas operates under


If they go to Oklahoma Oklahoma can't arrest the Texas legislators while they're in Oklahoma
because they aren't in Texas and they are only violating Texas legal authority
but if a crime is committed in Oklahoma running a stop sign speeding they could be arrested by even a local cop and then while they're under arrest the governor could request extradition
Of course, it would go through all sorts of legal challenges. We'd be held up in state courts, federal courts would intervene

and in this example we're, talking about one legislator which, even if they were forced to come back to the state, wouldn't do anything

If you go back to the previous time, when the state senators were in New Mexico and the state representatives were in Oklahoma, the deal was brokered with John Whitmire, a Democrat state Senator, the longest-serving Democrat state Senator, now Mayor of Houston. An agreement was brokered where he got the Democrats to come back

Some of the same people are in the positions to negotiate with the current Democrats I just doubt seriously whether any of the current Democrat leadership has a relationship with the Lieutenant Governor or even has the power to control enough of the numbers to make any agreement enforceable within their caucus

im hearing things but dont believe any of it

Fleeing prosecution is a thing right ?

What's the prosecution charge?

Well as you stated Gov Abbott can have them arrested but they cannot be done so out of state. Sounds like eventually they will have to come back and atone for the fleeing state part ?

I would think that people who are posting here would at least have gotten through middle school
if not, that's on you. unless an LSU degree is not equal to the average middle school certificate of achievement?
not accusing,, asking


Besides, Trump also makes fun of stupid questions and stupid statements
