Texas justice was served again on Tuesday. The Texas Supreme Court overturned a decision by a lower court judge to issue the Texas legislators who fled the state restraining orders that would shield them from arrest upon their return.


These legislators are still in DC but many are coming back is good to see that there is consequences for stupidity like leaving your state to stop a vote

It's common practice to "arrest them" when either side pulls this stunt both have done it.

They don't do time or get booked or anything, generally they are just escorted to the chamber usually to establish quorum.

All they managed to do was delay Covid relief funds from being allocated and spread Covid in DC & Portugal.

Really classy of the Jecovid Witness's to spread the disease to a foreign country after they know they had direct exposure.

Not quite sure what to think on this. I'm more democrat than republican but I still have no care for politics but even then those people shouldn't be arrested unless theirs reasonable cause like them committing some sort of scandal. But then again who am I to say? Let the government figure it out for themselves because they dont really seem to care about what the general public has to say about anything. :P

If the Texas Republicans really care about governance, they could kill the anti-voting bill. It's silly to say the Democratic members are solely to blame.

Well fortunately for election integrity and carrying out the peoples business they are going to drag them in and pass it anyways.

The anti-voting bill in Texas has nothing to do with "election integrity."

I realize having any standards at all is horrifying to Democrats. If you can't send a paid operative to Bon-qui-qui's house and fill out her ballot for her while she's watching Jerry Springer collecting public assistance there goes half the base. But the people of Texas don't intend to have their elections decided thru mass harvesting of the failure vote that can't follow the same procedures as everyone else.

If Texans had any sense of self-preservation, they'd be demanding the arrest of the people trying to trample all over their voting rights. It takes insane amounts of propaganda to make people believe its in their best interest to have the elites decide the outcome of elections for them. Greg Abbott can't even keep the lights on or more than five ICU beds open for the entire state at a time, and Ted Cruz has shown he'll flee the state for Mexico at the slightest hint of inconvenience. It's way past time for people there to wake the fuck up.

Dear God Cruz had that trip planned BEFORE the power went out. Was he suppost to cancel his vacation. Meanwhile you have toes up the hoe traveling to California every week but can't be fucked to visit the border and fix that situation they caused. Then you have grandpa biden reading answers to pre-screened questions about the flavor ice cream he is eating (had to check the card for the answer don't worry). Cumo can't keep his hands to himself (one big fucking #meto there) Then the pedophile that just resigned (bunch of damn winners on that side) don't worry Hilary will have them killed and make it look like suicide. And to top it all off let's pay all these stupid fucks to have kids....hell why work just have 8 kids and vote democrat they pay you to sit on your ass and reproduce.

Point is there should be strict rules set for how and when you can vote and defiantly should have id in order to do so. Do I agree with everything in the bill....no but if you dont do your job you should get canned...leaving the state instead of voting and doing your job is reason to be fired.

I thought you were going to say, demand the arrest of the people completely botching this virus. Luckily, seems like his "no mask mandate" mandate isn't going to hold.

Clearly these are the standards to live up to.

I suggest you learn what's in the Texas anti-voting bill, instead of arguing against a straw man.

There's a lot of trash to address here:

Dear God Cruz had that trip planned BEFORE the power went out.
The leaked text messages showed that the planning didn't occur until after the power went out. The point of the trip was to escape what was happening in Texas at the time, and Ted Cruz admitted that.

Was he suppost to cancel his vacation.
Pretending the trip had been planned ahead of time (it hadn't been), yes, he's supposed to cancel his vacation.

Meanwhile you have toes up the hoe traveling to California every week but can't be fucked to visit the border and fix that situation they caused.
Vice President Harris has been to the border, and conditions are improving at the border.

Then you have grandpa biden reading answers to pre-screened questions about the flavor ice cream he is eating (had to check the card for the answer don't worry).
Source?

Cumo can't keep his hands to himself (one big fucking #meto there) Then the pedophile that just resigned (bunch of damn winners on that side)
The difference, however, is that Democrats do what they can to remove deplorable people from office and hold them accountable. Republicans excuse and elect them.

If it were up to them, most Republicans in 2020 would have re-elected the former president, a man who was caught on tape bragging about committing sexual assault and who has numerous sexual assault allegations against him. Last I checked, there weren't a lot of Republicans calling on Matt Gaetz to resign, a man who is likely to be charged with having sex with and sex trafficking underage girls.

don't worry Hilary will have them killed and make it look like suicide.
This is unsubstantiated conspiracy theory nonsense.

And to top it all off let's pay all these stupid fucks to have kids....hell why work just have 8 kids and vote democrat they pay you to sit on your ass and reproduce.
This isn't how things work.

The "strict rules" in the Texas bill are meant to make voting more difficult, increase voter intimidation, and reduce voter turnout. They are not meant to address voter fraud, in part because there is no evidence that widespread voter fraud in Texas exists.

Lacius does all of this for free remember that
Isn't that a good thing?

Edit: If we want to talk about people who don't do it "for free," we can look at how the former president had to pay people to support him during his campaign announcement in 2015.

Ah, good ol' swagger-instead-of-governing. Dems basically filibustered the bill and the republicans are trying to arrest them rather than even try to address the glaring issues. It's a pretty un-democratic law meant to ensure only certain people are enabled to vote. Very anti-american. I can't imagine texas has a very strong civics class if folks from there think this "law" is anything other than voting manipulation. or maybe they know, but since it benefits them they don't care about american ideals very much?
