Activist Judge Throws the Fugitive Texas
Democrats a Lifeline

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/9/2021 3:26:50 PM

Gov. Greg Abbott has officially called another special session, forcing the Texas Democrats who fled to block a voter integrity bill to continue their foolhardy charade. But now, an activist judge has stepped in to throw them a lifeline. The Democrat has signed an order to block enforcement of the arrest warrants put out for the Texas Democrats. Those arrests are allowed under the Texas Constitution as a way to force the appearance of lawmakers who refuse to show up to do their jobs. This appears to allow the fugitive Democrats to return home from Washington, DC now with no way to compel them

One judge does not have the authority to override a constitutional provision. Only the legislature and the citizens of that state can do that.

I know its a fine line, but a texas legislator cannot be arrested while in transit to/from the assembly. Articles of impeachment can be submitted, and the errant legislators can be replaced while the impeachment is active. I would be in favor of busting them anyway..the judge does bpnot have troops, and does not have a constitutional plank to stand on

What was the judges reason for ignoring the Texas Constitution and block the arrest warrants for the wayward Democrats? Is Gov. Abbott being too mean by expecting the Democrats to show up to work?

Get another judge and overrule the activist. Better, do you need the Dems there, to impeach the judge? If the judge has acted contrary to the law, arrest them.

Demon-Rats have longed learn the truth is the old saying "it's easier to apologize than to ask permission". Of course, they never apologize, but they still do whatever they want to do, knowing there will seldom ever be consequences after the fact. Ignore this judge, arrest them when they hit the border, force them to the chambers, have the vote, and then let them go with an "apology" for going against the judges ruling. If they sue, drag it through the courts for years. But, ultimately, the election laws will be passed and election integrity will be preserved in Texas!!!!!

To paraphrase Andy Jackson, the judge has made his decision, now let him try to enforce it. The fleeing Rats should be arrested anyways. After all, it is constitutional, and the judge has no authority to crap all over the state constitution.

Joe Biden held a press conference briefing to talk about infrastructure today. I wonder if he would have set it up if he knew in advance that New York Gov.

The Texas Supreme Court Tuesday voided a district judge's temporary restraining order that blocked the threat of arrest for Democratic lawmakers who fled the state last month. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to arrest the nearly 60 Democratic representatives who fled the Texas legislature in order to block Republicans from establishing a quorum and passing a contested voting reforms bill. The state's Supreme Court ruling came after Abbott and House Speaker Dade Phelan petitioned the court Monday to overturn the protection order, meaning the lawmakers could all face arrest if they return from their month-long hiatus.

The Texas Supreme Court on Monday rejected a request from Texas state House Democrats to overturn Gov. Greg Abbott's (R) veto on funding for the state's legislature. Filed in June, the petition argued that Abbott's veto was unconstitutional and violated the separation of powers between branches of government. Abbott vetoed the legislature's funding after a group of state Democrats left Texas to prevent the passage of voting legislation that critics have said would limit voter access. "Funding should not be provided for those who quit their job early, leaving their state with unfinished business and exposing taxpayers to higher costs for an additional legislative session,"

A trillion dollars used to be a lot of money, even in Washington. Now, a trillion-dollar spending bill is a trifle barely worth arguing over and the stuff of bipartisan consensus. Oscar Wilde famously said that nothing succeeds like excess, but even he might blanch at the shameless profligacy that is America’s new normal. In their wisdom, Senate Republicans decided to help President Joe Biden pass a portion of his blow-out fiscal agenda, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that is a prelude to an even bigger, vastly more consequential $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.

Republicans have helped put President Biden several steps closer to passing his top legislative priority in voting multiple times to advance an unnecessary and costly infrastructure bill that will pave the way for Democrats to pass their multi-trillion dollar social agenda. This is a pathetic surrender that has been built on a mountain of lies. Republicans who voted for this monstrosity claimed that the infrastructure bill they negotiated would be fully paid for. It isn’t. They claimed it would narrowly focus on traditional infrastructure such as fixing roads and bridges. It doesn’t. They claimed it would help convince moderate Democrats to abandon Biden’s larger bill. It won’t.
