The bail reform is DUMBocrat DA’s and judges mostly letting career criminals (like 5+ felonies already) out on an OR, or super low bail like $500. This is a huge problem in Harris county.

In nearly every shooting & murder, it turns out the Criminal has a LONG criminal past and was frequently out on bail for multiple felonies, including Capital Murder... Total & Complete insanity to arrest & charge someone for Serious Violent Offenses like Capital Murder & such and then just turn around release them right back to the streets to do it all over again ... |

Yes, how come the answer to stopping repeat offenders is never having them stop offending?
Because no one ever takes responsibility for their own actions? Yeah, zero bail fixes all that. I’m so disgusted with Dallas I’m ready to disband the whole city. At this point it’s just a vehicle to screw people out of money and make a halfass job program where nobody works. |

It was the expected gas huffing Texas Tribute puff piece too, complete with Glamour Shot of all the smiling leftist on a bus, fleeing the state.
The GOP is trying to take Texas back to those dark days of voting - 2019, where you could not vote by mail fraud, or drive in movie voting. In the end, it will fail, but with the media on their side, it'll be portrayed as a heroic effort to protect the voter from not being able to cast a fraudulent ballot. There's no time for it this year, but next session the Legislature needs to pass an anti-turd DA law, where a person who's has to use force to protect themselves can avoid being indicted for that just because the DA wants to protect their criminal voting base. Florida has a pretty good system where a person, if they wish, can present their case to a judge who can rule to end the prosecution. |

This was posted on a Dallas talk show host fan FB page. If true, I hope the governor and the rest of the Republicans have the guts to follow through.
If a quorum is not present when the House convenes Tuesday, any House member can move to make what’s known as a call of the House to “to secure and maintain a quorum” to consider a certain piece of legislation, resolution or motion, under chamber rules. That motion must be seconded by 15 members and ordered by a majority vote. If that happens, the missing Democrats will become legislative fugitives. “All absentees for whom no sufficient excuse is made may, by order of a majority of those present, be sent for and arrested, wherever they may be found, by the sergeant-at-arms or an officer appointed by the sergeant-at-arms for that purpose, and their attendance shall be secured and retained,” the House rules state. “The house shall determine on what conditions they shall be discharged. |

I'll give her this, she had some mad skills - who else could talk for 6 hours extolling the virtues of partial-birth abortions whist pissing into a diaper, as she had one on so she wouldn't have to leave the Senate floor and give up the speaking spot while running out the clock. As I said then, if that gal could shit into a diaper while not breaking speaking cadence, I'd wipe her ass and marry her. Also, what ultimately ran out the clock on that session wasn't her babbling on, as eventually she was ruled out of order and the proceedings continued. It was a group of demonstrators in the public seats, who screamed and hollered so loud that the Senators on the floor could not conduct business. So partisan demonstrators walked into a Capitol, and obstructed the official proceedings of an elected body, attempting to do governmental work. Haven't we been told since 6 Jan that's treason and insurrection? But was all fun and games back then, not a felony, and certainly not worthy of investigation by the FBI/KGB. |

Or when two hags screamed at Senator Flake in an elevator, and he went all soft and wobby and changed his mind on the timing of the vote in committee?
If the table had been turned, the FBI/KGB would have hunted those two down and changed them with a long list of felonies for interference with the duties of a federal employee. Anyway, back on topic - I don't think there are any limits on how many special sessions a Governor can call, so he can keep doing this as long as he wants, going into the 22 election season, when the Democrats will want to be back in the state to campaign. Closer still, there's the session to re-draw all the seats, and the Democrats would have to boycott that one too, otherwise the vote fraud bill could be brought up then and passed. Unlike the anti-vote by mail fraud bills which is a want to have, the Legislature has to re-draw the districts, as Texas has a few additional seats to create. Not sure how that factors in - would there be different rules for that session with regards to quorum? Could a court order the Democrats to return for that session to allow for the creation of the new distortions and proper time for candidates to run? Even if it did, would the Democrats obey, or use their total control of the media / education / entertainment complex to ignore court rulings as they'd be deemed meanie, and off to the Steven Colbert show to have him toss their salads? Ahh where's a stray Canadian goose being sucked into an plane engine when you need it. |

That was what I like about President Trump, the media treat Republicans like shit, but when the media gets called out for being the shitheads they are they cry like a 4 year old that you took away his candy. There was a photographer/kind of reporter unloading his stuff before the House hearing on Constitutional Carry. I asked what paper he was from and he said the Statesman. I told the paper was so bad that I quit reading the newspapers because the Statesman was as bad as a Jr. high newspaper. He really got butt hurt and said people treat the media so bad since Trump called them fake media. I said fuck off you cocksuckers deserve it, everything you put out is a fucking lie. The media will never like us so fuck them, and Republicans need to understand that Democrats are never their friends. Democrats would rather load Republicans into cattle cars to gas us. |

Business can't be conducted without a quorum. Nothing except motions to adjourn, motions for a call to the house, and motions incidental to those will get passed without them. The motion to compel to attend (the fifteen seconds and majority vote) is incidental to a call to the house. So they can vote on that that without them, but that's about it. https://tlc.texas.gov/docs/legref/HRules.pdf (page 70) I'm not sure at what point the seat is considered vacated and the governor can call a special election to fill it. |

If they stay gone for too long, then at some point Governor Abbot should declare their seats to be vacated and filled by special elections, and that the ones in DC are ineligible to run for them.
I don't know how that would happen, but there has to be some point at which you deem the seats vacant. They occupy those seats on a temporary basis, they don't own them. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And why they went to DC. Good luck getting federal law enforcement to do anything about them there. Because they haven't committed a crime. The arrest order is valid only in Texas and only for the purposes of maintaining a quorum. Once arrested there is no criminal charge, contempt charge, civil charge or something bad written on their permanent record, the LE who make the arrests merely transport them to the State Capitol. No handcuffs or strip search. Political theater by both sides. Dems have pulled this before. Republicans remember that. Republicans would do the exact same thing if outnumbered by the Dems. Whether Democrat or Republican, it plays to their base, helps in fundraising and puts them in a national spotlight. Their constituents eat it up, their constituents think the other side is the debil, their constituents will not think ill of them and will continue to vote the same as they did before. |

Interesting term to cabin them, maybe not allow them to leave the Capital? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because they haven't committed a crime. The arrest order is valid only in Texas and only for the purposes of maintaining a quorum. Once arrested there is no criminal charge, contempt charge, civil charge or something bad written on their permanent record, the LE who make the arrests merely transport them to the State Capitol. No handcuffs or strip search. Political theater by both sides. Dems have pulled this before. Republicans remember that. Republicans would do the exact same thing if outnumbered by the Dems. Whether Democrat or Republican, it plays to their base, helps in fundraising and puts them in a national spotlight. Their constituents eat it up, their constituents think the other side is the debil, their constituents will not think ill of them and will continue to vote the same as they did before. Which is all, like I said, the reason they went to DC. |

Also now the Texas Democrats are pretty useless in Washington. After they pleaded and pleaded with Manchin and Sinama both said they still support the filibuster. So HB1, and SB1 are stalled, also to change how elections are run they Democrats finally realized it would require a Constitutional Amendment since the Constitution states that election laws and the operation are to set by state legislatures.
So now that Democrats are off to pushing the Pedo Joe ‘inter-structure’ bill of 3+ Trillion dollars. The Texas Democrats are useless to rest of the party. The Democrats pretty much realize they will lose the House in 2022 and good chance losing the Senate too. So they have one chance to get one thing through to damage the county. |

A party in the minority runs off and prevents a vote on legislation they don't want, then lobbies a higher body to get rid of its ability for a party in the minority to prevent a vote of legislation. Anyone else see the disconnect?
I don't think this is playing very well. Even the nightly Houston NBC news had a segment on it saying the voting reform would not affect many voters at all, and was generally negative about them running away. As I said before, the Legislature has to meet to re-district and draw the lines for the new Congressional seats. If the Democrats try to run away for that, you'd think a court would order them back for that as without drawing those lines, the election of House seats next year will be in jeopardy, and disenfranchise voters in the new seats. Then if they're sitting in the Legislature for that, bring up the other things for a vote too. For the next Session, Abbott should include the re-districting, then if they run off again, have the courts order them to return. Would be a hoot to seem them try to ignore a court order. |

Now they're squawking about "election infrastructure" - putting it into the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill they're pretending is an infrastructure bill: Klobuchar: We Can Pass Voting Rights as ‘Election Infrastructure’ with Reconciliation They're not going to stop until they get it. Whether it's constitutional or not is not a concern of theirs. |
