Or what?
What actually, realistically, happens if they get in their car and leave?
How can you get in your car and leave when you’re locked in?
They’ll get arrested. They have “active arrest warrants”
If the house voted on rules that allow for this escort crap, then the sergeant at arms can enforce it.
The Texas Constitution empowers the legislature to compel the attendance of its members using whatever means each chamber may enact in its own rules.
Nothing to see here, just more straight up fascist stuff out of Texas.
Why did the other democrats sign that permission slip?
To go home. They didn’t the best we can realistically expect. Now others need to step up.
Bullshit. What others? These are the people with the power. The Democrat’s and their apologists still don’t take what’s happening seriously. Two weeks is a nice vacation, not a fucking exile in Syberia.
Well Newsome, for one. They brought attention to the issue and drew him in to the fight.
The Democrats had fled to blue states earlier this month after President Trump suggested the state should redraw its U.S. House district maps to secure more Republican seats.
I like how “the ruling party openly rigs the system” is only the side story.
why did they go back?
Bumped up Texas on my “most likely states for the civil war to erupt from” list.
This is so fucked up.
There would be a huge pile of shit in the speakers chair when they came back.
