The entirely politicized judicial system in America strikes again.
In July, fifty-seven of the state’s Democratic lawmakers abandoned Texas to prevent a Republican elections bill that they call claimed would restricting voting rights in the state.
Texas Governor Greg Abbot (R) called for their immediate arrests in order to re-establish a quorum for a vote on the bill.
A temporary restraining order from State District Judge Brad Urrutia, a Democrat, on Monday prevented authorities arresting the deserting Democrats from being arrested for 14 days, claiming that Democrats would suffer “imminent and irreparable harm” if Republicans were not barred from ordering arrests.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) quickly asked the state Supreme Court to stay the ruling, calling it an abuse of judicial power, and a spokeswoman for Abbott predicted the judge’s order would not stand.
“The ruling by the Travis County judge is contrary to the Texas Constitution and violates the separation of powers between the different branches of government,” Renae Eze, Abbott’s spokeswoman, said in a statement Monday.
“We are confident that this overstep will be overturned. Texas Democrats need to stop the charades and get back to work.”
Good
Then do every one of them and while your at it fire every one of them too
EXACTLEY !!!!!
Not good, waste of taxpayers money. Remove them all
No way. They’ll come strolling back like nothing happened. All for show.
They’ll stretch it out with appeals until it’s all forgotten. What’s needed are some civil cases against them
If this is an after picture on their return, all they did was get fatter.
Funny thing. The Governor has the power under the Texas constitution to call a session of the congress, and has the power to go round up the members under penalty of arrest for not showing.
Simple facts that seems to be left out of the story.
Make them Pay ALL expenses from THEIR PAY !!!!!!

Damn. Bunch a heffers.
