Texas Democrats flee the state to Illinois.

Are their rights being infringed, buttnugget? How?
You've already said that the FBI isn't involved in any law enforcement in this case.

So what's the FBI legal justification for hunting Americans on American soil OUTSIDE of law enforcement?

Jesus dude. Aren't you guys the one's giving empty lip service to the idea of opposing federal overreach. And now you're insisting that the FBI can hunt ANY American with no reason, outside of any law enforcement, on US soil without any crime, nor being suspected of a crime.

Just hunted for no reason.

Conservatives aren't what they used to be.
Have they been detained? Questioned?
Wtf is your retarded ass on about, anyway?
These elected politicians are purposely not doing their jobs.
They should all be fired. The End.

And again, what can the Texas LEOs do? They have no jurisdiction. There is no crime. They have no laws to enforce, as there is no law against leaving Texas.

This is empty political grandstanding, using the FBI as a prop.
 
The FBI would arrest them if requested by Texas and I believe that has been done.

The **** they would. The **** they have.

There's no criminal warrant, only a civil warrant that has no jurisdiction outside of Texas. There's no crime in the legislators leaving Texas.

Worse for Abbot, the Texas Supreme Court in 2021 found that no criminal warrant COULD be issue against legislators leaving the State, nor any law enacted that criminalized them leaving. And that any civil warrrants issued had no jurisdiction outside of Texas.

Abbott has very few options. And arrest isn't one of them. Texas LEO couldn't issue these legislators so much as a parking ticket right now. Let alone arrest them.

The chuckleheads are abdicating their duties at the Texas State legislature.
Republican Senate is lucky we don't have Federal laws for their version of it they are currently enacting.

That was then, this is now. Things are different. They won't be out of Texas forever and they may be out of a job when they get back. :itsok:

How?

How is it different? Did the Texas Supreme Court overturn themselves? Show me, don't tell me.

And if they did, why hasn't Texas issued a criminal warrant? Why only a civil warrant?

There's no 'luck'. There's an actual Texas Supreme Court ruling on the matter.

Y'all love to play the 'but its not illegal' game. Well, you set the tune, you'll dance to it.

Abbott can't really do much here. The FBI has zero legal justification for any involvement. And Texas has no jurisdiction on a civil warrant outside of Texas.

"This House will not sit quietly while you obstruct the work of the people," Burrows said Monday.

To assist Burrows, Abbott said Monday that he had ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to "locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans." But the Texas DPS does not have jurisdiction to arrest them out of state. Within the state, they could be placed under civil arrest, which would compel them to return to the Legislature.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican, said Tuesday that he had contracted the FBI to "to aid in Texas state law enforcement efforts to locate or arrest potential lawbreakers who have fled the state." "

They will lose this one. Also they can also be arrested for bribery if someone is financing their shenanigans.
Rotsa Ruck!
Texas Democrats are just about at the "FO" part of FAFO.

Your own source confirms the obvious problem for Abbott.

You posted it twice, but didn't read it once.

Texas has no jurisdiction for civil warrants outside of Texas. I repeat, Texas has no jurisdiction for a civil warrant outside of Texas.

Let that sink in.
 

You probably already know this, Skye, but I just heard today that Abbott has just changed something that now, those democrats cannot even collect their backpay or paychecks now unless they show up in PERSON.

******* over these asshole democrats is almost as tasty as a fine red wine served with a gourmet cherry cheesecake. It just keeps getting better and better. Trump is like an angry zombie that just keeps coming at you no matter how many bullets you put into him.

I bet Trump spent a lot of time planning how to pay back the democrats; we can only imagine the satisfaction these daily events pleasure him! I imagine the feeling must be immense. Trump is now putting the full weight of the federal government right on the neck of the democrat party and he intends to keep leaning on them until they are ground down into dust.

It's only part-time and the pay sucks. They won't be missing much except the fines they are receiving every day they are gone.

They could be charged with bribery if someone paid them to leave.

Yes, and conservatives should take all of this in the proper context, whether it be constant insults from Colbert or Nazi comments by errant commenters:
  • All of this, the recalcitrance of Colbert, the Nazi comments, these are ALL SIGNS OF TRUMP WINNING. If they had any good news, were beating Trump, winning, etc., they'd be talking about that. Instead, these are the voices and actions of a group of people getting their asses handed to them that all they have left is to flail angry words. Conservatives are "Nazis" now because they are winning. And Colbert will use up his remaining few months in a hate-fest because he knows that after May, he will likely never have a job again much less have the public's ear on anything.
It is all going bye-bye to the Left.



Trump FAFO.webp
 
The focus IS on redistricting thanks to Trump's lapdogs who did an about face on the agenda & steered it into another exercise in showing that the former GOP is nothing but an organization of spineless cowards who will do whatever Trump orders them to.

Btw, if Trump & his cowards in Congress didn't screw over millions of people in that bill, redistricting wouldn't be needed. They can't win on their merits & they know it.
Every state should immediately reGerrymander.
