Well here we are.
Do they feel better now after their publicity stunt?
What a ridiculous display that they were foolish enough to think had any vaule.
I like the fact they locked the doors on these misfits
========================
"The state Democrats announced that they would return after California Democrats moved forward with plans to redraw their congressional map to counter any GOP gains in Texas.
On Aug. 15, Gov. Greg Abbott called a second special session as the first one ended.
“Delinquent House Democrats ran away from their responsibility to pass crucial legislation to benefit the lives of Texans,” Abbott said in a statement.
“We will not back down from this fight. That’s why I am calling them back today to finish the job.”
When the Texas House convened on Aug. 18, Speaker Dustin Burrows announced a quorum and subsequently ordered the House chamber doors locked, an action permitted under House rules.
Burrows scheduled the House to reconvene on Aug. 20, when a vote on a redrawn congressional map could take place, potentially adding five Republican seats in the next election.
Democrats, who showed up on Aug. 18 but face arrest warrants that were issued for fleeing the state, were released from the chamber in the custody of Department of Public Safety officers responsible for their return.
“We have a quorum. Now is the time for action. We will move quickly,” Burrows said."
