Texas House votes to ARREST runaway Democrats for blocking voting rights bill: State Dems sing outside the Capitol and insist they are willing to go t

[Ben Thomson]

Republicans in the Texas State House voted 76-4 on Tuesday to arrest the runaway Democrats who fled to Washington D.C. to break the quorum and block the passage of Governor Greg Abbott's voting rights bills.

'Members, a sergeant-at-arms and any officer appointed by him are directed to send for all absentees whose attendance is not excused for the purpose of securing and maintaining their attendance under warrant of arrest if necessary,' Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan announced from the State House floor.

Texas House rules allow the sergeant-at-arms to arrest members who are not present at the Capitol for a vote – and the show of disapproval Tuesday could result in the lawmakers' arrest when they land back in the Lone Star State.

The Tuesday, however, vote doesn't hold much weight as long as the Democrats remain in Washington since by crossing state lines they have escaped jurisdiction of Texas law enforcement.

The group maintains that they aren't afraid of Governor Abbott's threats to arrest them for fleeing the state to break a quorum and avoid voting on Republicans ' election legislation.

The same threat was made against Republicans who fled Oregon a few years ago to block climate legislation. Nobody was arrested there. I doubt anyone will be arrested in Texas.

if arrested they wont be taken to jail . they will be held at the Capital Building of Texas until they vote . Abbott isnt playing around .

The Democrats Who Fled Texas Know This Word VERY Well:

'We could be arrested and taken back

Oh...so Reagan's, H.W Bush and G. W Bush's elections were fraudulent??

What will likely happen is they will be forced to stay out of the state for the remainder of their term, and will not be able to campaign or be on the ballot for re-elction.

Nor will they be able to take any of their own bills to the floor until they return, and they all have their own pet projects that they want to pass.

Send Marshalls out to arrest their puckered asses, throw them in jail and impeach them all.

They have to be IN Texas to be arrested.

Republicans never thought there was any problem with 'election security' until they started losing.

After 4 years of failing (failed coup attempt, 2 failed Impeachments, failed attempts to set Trump up....) and getting their asses handed to them...and after nominating a proven criminal, CCP/Russia-bought, dementia-ravaged white racist and appointing Kamala 'knees' Harris as his VP, Democrats did everything they could to cheat and steal the election in 2020.

Everyone should have known, as I did, that when the Democrats declared they were pushing for mail-in ballots the election was already over. As the Democrats successfully proved, the mail-In ballot system is the most corrupt in the entire world, which is why almost every other nation has OUTLAWED its use...and why several nations outlawed it after our election!

Democrats used to claim that election fraud did not exist....until so much fraud was exposed that they changed their argument to 'NOT ENOUGH election fraud exists'.

Thank you for not disappointing me by sticking to the Dem tactic of accusing others of being who THEY are and of doing what THEY have been caught doing and are still doing.

Temper Tantrum-Throwing, immature, sore-loser politicians who can't handle losing / not getting their way chartering an expensive private jet to run away from their state and jobs as elected representatives sounds like a banana republic...but its just the Democrats.
