Texas Democrats flee the state to Illinois.

[SassyIrishLass]

Everyone is attentive to a "Texas voter" meme

Good grief

Texas Republicans are fascist. Unfortunately the Feds are compromised by the Cheater-in-Chief.

Given the cheat he experienced in ‘16 and ‘20 it’s only natural to want to turn the tables.

 

[struth]

Old white southern men are tied directly to thr demklan

Not surprised they are attacking trump and voted for people like racial jungle Joe

 

[JWBooth]

Not being a fan of Abbott, I suppose that I would be expected to oppose his announcing the seats as vacant and appointing replacements. I support this act. The level of chaos it will create will be worth the price of admission.

MAGA lies.

Same problem, who writes/controls the algorithm?

It doesn’t have to be one person. They don’t to even be American.

Here we go again.

Texas Democrats are once again fleeing the state to deny a quorum to Texas Republicans to protest redistricting plans that may provide Republicans up to five Congressional seats.

Here We Go: Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum for Redistricting, and Now the Real Fun Begins

Texas Dems flee to Illinois to deny quorum for redistricting amid escalating political tensions.

Yeah, they've pulled this stunt before...last time fleeing to Oklahoma. But Oklahoma, being a Republican state, said... Come and get 'em.

So this time they've fleeing to Chicago, ostensibly to protest alleged gerrymandered.



Have you seen Illinois Congressional Map???

think of this like this, demofks don't have balls to be true leaders and debate the values of their constituents. The media cracked me up calling them leaders,. Leaders don't abandon their posts and run away.

 

[Billiejeens]

Not sure how that works in Texas but does Abbot have the authority to replace them with republicans?

It would be a bold move, but yes it appears so.

Until an activist judge stops him.

so who are they? you didn't answer. nice dodge, dodge boi.

They can be anyone, as long as they go by numbers, not ideology.

Apparently democrats don't believe in democracy.

I don’t know Texas law. But when other legislators in other states (I think it was out in the Midwest or west) tried that shit, their offices were found to have been “vacated.”

But yeah. It depends on their laws and their “interpretation” by some judges. If the judge isn’t an activist, and the removal from office works, you can be certain they would take their challenge to the most liberal and activist judge in the federal district for “relief.” Then, probably, the SCOTUS.

The Democrats as a party are just now a clown car. SO FUNNY

Alleged?

For protesting Repub's anti-democratic plan to gerrymander? Wait.........you were just joking, right?

A few years ago an AG opinion stated the governor could petition a court to have an office declared vacant. I believe we are about to see if this holds water.

like who? name someone. skippy

they only want what they want, nothing from any other source or party. they take their ball and leave. Best demonstration yet again. No leadership values at all. crybabies who again show they don't fight for constituents.

they left! crybabies, whining they aren't in control whaaaaaaaaa, true leaders in democracy stay and fight for their base. They cowered into a corner called Illinois. Their values are only for them, and no one else.
