[Rexedgar]

The news states that there are two jets standing by. The legislators have to stay out of the state of Texas for the remainder of the session. Twenty- seven days.
This is getting crazy…..
We are going to go through some things……

Texas House Democrats flee the state in move that could block voting restrictions bill, bring Legislature to a halt

A majority of Democrats in the Texas House left for Washington, D.C., Monday afternoon in a bid to again deny Republicans the quorum needed to pass new voting restrictions with 26 days left in a special legislative session called largely for that purpose.

Typical Dem tactic.

The ends justify any means...no mater how immoral, unethical or illegal.

It's so horribly unethical to do the only thing they can do to prevent the GOP's voter suppression plots from coming to fruition. To think it took a supporter of the violent insurrection of 1/6/21 to show me the true path!

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Too bad that's the only tool that they currently have in the tool box so far.

 

[Napoleon]

Par for the course. The Republicans will just send the Rangers to round them up like they did last time.

Oh please! This is kind of hypocrisy just a little bit don't you think? The GOP suppresses voting rights, gerry manders and voting restricts, lest you forget!

There are plenty of safe spaces where these democrats (lower-case D) can take shelter from the fascists.

The Texas Rangers have no jurisdiction in other states....

Actually...it's not "unethical". It's illegal.

Read the link; they are exiting Texas, Ranger’s jurisdiction stops at the state line…..

No...what you've presented is a form of deflection called "whataboutism".

I was just talking about facts that relate directly to the OP.

They have to make it across the State line first.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Just make it easier for people to vote. God Almighty.

And what power do they have to detain them when the session is adjourned for the day?

The power of the Texas God.

If the Texas republicans were smart they’d just do it and invent the justification later.

Too late, they are already in the air...

 

[Rogue Valley]

The Texas Dems are going to try and meet with Manchin and Sinema in D.C.

Give 'em an earful and then call them out publicly.

It shows they are willing to do what ever it takes to put this voter suppression bill in the trash. I applaud them, for this is probably their only option. That's a bunch of politicians with some large gonads.

I have one question for you. Did you think that republicans could run rough shod over the dems and just pass anything they wanted without a fight?

What we are seeing here is just the beginning. Trumpers beware.

Oh the left has already shown themselves capable of violence and their supporters in government will persecute anyone who opposes it, like Kyle Rittenhouse

Fleeing democracy.

See, the republicans have the upper hand here because they elected a choir boy last time.
