How can this be constitutional? State reps miss votes all the time. It's not illegal to go to a different state, and miss a session, for a wedding or a funeral or whatever. They're not, like, jumping bail. What the Feds have to do with it? I have no idea.

It's lawful in the TX constitution to avoid quorum so as not give the majority an unfair advantage. Last time they did it, the GOP passed a law to impose a $500 fine per day, but the arrest is not lawful You heard Trump say ''we are ENTITLED to 5 more seats". Remember when the FBI was enemy 1?

Now they're errand boys & girls, ready to scrub the felon's name from his dirty capers or to go fetch Dems & force them into quorum to disenfranchise Texas voters against their will, without the voters' input. I've lost respect for everything I once held in high esteem. The founding

fathers should have set up an independent agency that checks the power of wayward rogue regimes. Elected leaders in the minority being totally powerless & sitting on their hands for 4 years for them to destroy the country & harm the people with impunity was a daft option! IT'S ONLY BEEN 6 MONTHS!

I was there in the streets every day in Wisconsin jan/feb 🥶✊️ We didn't "win" but people built coalitions, make connections. Support these Texas lawmakers who refuse to roll over.
