Quote from: Solar on July 16, 2021, 01:00:02 PMThey used taxpayer money to charter a flight, are sitting in hotels at taxpayer-funded per diem as well as eating on their dime, while poking fun at their constituency, and all for what? They don't want to do their job?

Do we know for sure that the taxpayers of Texas are paying for all that?
Is it possible that those expenses are being covered by someone like George Soros?
Or maybe some front organization that's funded by the usual suspects?

We do know they receive periderm, but they will be FORCED to pay it all back, this I'm certain of.

Apparently Texas Dems believed they've deployed to a foreign country as part of a military action.

You cant make this stuff up.

If AMERICA wasn't being destroyed by Biden's stolen election and his destructive policies this would be great comedy.

The Texas Dems cry racism because of voter ID in one breath and then watch as a Dallas BLM group asks "White" households to sign a pledge that they will not allow their children to attend an Ivy or top 50 college in the USA.

I am sick of Democrats, Burn-Loot-Mayhem, and all libtards.

When will it end?

Maybe we can all send them a turd in the mail as their care package?

Now might be a good time to "box' up the feed lot.

Quote from: p1tchblack on July 16, 2021, 09:15:53 AMMy bet is that nobody is going to be arrested.  It's political games/gamesmanship.

I would love to see the carnage if Abbott actually did arrest them.

WE may soon see.

Texas House Speaker Issues Arrest Warrant for Dem Rep as He Flees to DC for Second Time

However, it does make him liable for arrest as soon as he steps foot into the Lone Star State.

It was the first such warrant Phelan has signed, according to KHOU-TV.

The Democrats' performative stunt is expected to end on Aug. 6, when the current special session for the bill concludes, The Texas Tribune reported.

Of course, the arrest warrant is not the only negative attention they are drawing to themselves.

The Dallas County Democratic Party began asking for donations to supply "care packages" for the lawmakers this weekend, as if they are in any financial despair.

"Our Dems in DC said they'd appreciate care packages from home. Before 5pm Tues, we're collecting Dr. Pepper, salsa, hard candy, hairspray, travel toiletries, hand sanitizers, sewing kits, first aid, and/ or $ to pay shipping. TY!" the group tweeted.

I'm glad you posted this, saw it yesterday and knew at that very moment, they were about to be arrested finally. Their lawyers moved quickly to a Marxist, Austin judge, that was waiting in the wings.

     

Texas Supreme Court to allow for arrest of Democrats who remain absent amid second special session


AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan have filed a petition with the Texas Supreme Court, asking it to overturn an order blocking the arrest of quorum-busing House Democrats.

And, as of Tuesday, their request has been approved. The Texas Supreme Court issued a stay.

Abbott and Phelan argued in the petition for a writ of mandamus, dated Aug. 9, that the "trial court's error 'constitutes a clear abuse of discretion.'"

"In this case, there can be little doubt that the Plaintiff's arrest and subsequent transport back to the Capitol falls comfortably within the Legislature's (and the Speaker's) broad power to compel the attendance of its members," the petition says.

KVUE reported on Aug. 9 that a criminal district judge in Austin signed the order blocking the arrest, saying that doing so would be a misinterpretation of House rules and the Texas Constitution.

Judge Brad Urrutia signed the order Sunday night, and it was filed by Austin attorneys representing 19 plaintiffs Monday morning.

The order potentially paved the way for remaining House members to return to the state – or to refuse to go to the Capitol – without the threat of arrest.

The order blocked Abbott, Phelan and law enforcement agencies such as the Texas Department of Public Safety and Capitol police from "detaining, confining, or otherwise restricting a Texas House Democrat's movement without his or her consent. It also prevents them from "issuing warrants or other instruments demanding the detention, confinement or other restriction of a Texas House Democrat's movement."
