Texas Democrats are doing everything in their power to stop legislation from going through.
As the entire country knows by now, House Democrats fled the state so they would not have to vote on a piece of legislation they know they could not defeat.
Senate Democrats tried to block the bill by conducting a 15-hour filibuster, but it was all for naught.
Get to Work
Texas Senate Democrats did everything they could procedurally do to block the legislation.
But, after a 15-hour filibuster, the legislation was finally brought to a vote and passed.
With the voting bill finally getting through the Senate, it will now be passed to the House for further challenges.
The problem is not that Republicans do not have enough votes, because they do.
The problem is that Democrats are trying to block the quorum needed to get the bill on the floor for a vote.
Dozens of House Democrats fled the state to D.C. so a quorum could not be held.
The party has tried to hold them up as heroes, but they are cowards. It is as simple as that.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has asked conservatives not to judge the Dems too harshly, as he noted he may now use the same move to block the reconciliation package.
I, for one, hope he does not because while I don’t want to see that bill passed, I would hate to see Graham provide the reason the Texas Democrats can no longer be called out on this front.
In an effort to bring the Texas Democrats back to session, Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan has signed warrants for the rogue Democrats to be arrested.
While they would not be sent to prison, they would be brought to chambers to allow the quorum to begin.
Phelan’s spokesperson, Enrique Marquez, stated, “Earlier today, the House Sergeant-at-Arms deputized members of Texas law enforcement to assist in the House’s efforts to compel a quorum.
“That process will begin in earnest immediately.”

AWESOME. ABOUT TIME
Yeah, Jeffrey, it is about time these democrats got rounded up and made to do t heir job.
A Democrat elected to an office actually doing the job the Citizens he represents elected him/her/it to do….. What a novel concept…. and extremely rare.
Seems democrats will do anything including break the law to win elections
They have been breaking the law for quite some time now. Just when will our justice system charge an try them like the criminals that they are. People like Piglosi can only be reelected by fraud and deceit, plus blackmail among other crimes.
Ret WE SURE KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE!! MARGARET THAT US CORRECT!!! UNITED WE STAND!!! OUR NATION UNDER GOD!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those “DirtocRATS” who fled to D.C. are a bunch of gutless, spineless, disgusting cowards!! Lock ’em up along w/ Hillary, Hunter and BOZO Joe!!! NO “care packages,” please!!!
AGREE TOTALLY
The democRAT party needs to be eliminated!
The moment they left the state was an “I QUIT MY JOB” resignation. That gives enployer freedom to hire new employees to keep his business productive.
Well said !
AMEN TO THAT!!!
AMEN!! THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD BE THEY LEAVE THEY ARE FIRED!!!AMEN!!!! UNITED WE STAND!!! Carol you are 1,000% CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One wonders! Are these democrats actually representing the people that voted them into office or are they trying to protect the illegal voting systems that got them into office. If new election laws are enacted how many of these self centered democrats would get reelected? How long have these crooked and rigged voting elections been conducted, with no discovery, till this last election?
Every Democrat needs to be put in prison.
they need to be dead and left in the streets to rot like the rat rodents they are..evry single one of them!
AMEN!!! WE AGREE TO THAT!!!! Mark David You are Correct on that!!!
Bill they are trying to protect the illegal voting system that got them into office. Colorado has the same problem.
Our Previous Governor used Fraud to be come a Governor twice and now he used Fraud to become a Senator in Washington DC. He has been a Liar and a Thief all of his Terms in Colorado. He leaves the Western Slope alone has he has been warned that should he come over to the Western Slop of Colorado he will be ushered out of the State with A Gun. The Liberal Liar .
Wholeheartedly agree. As a Colorado resident, demoncraps have done Nothing for Colorado. Self- absorbed, power hungry frauds. I could go on forever,but I won’t. Well put,my friend!
Prosecute them all!!!!!!!!!!
Lock them up!
lock them in prison for 6 months and expel from offices / the quickest and most efficient way to start helping all citizens .
They all should be ashamed in public then eliminated from there jobs
WHEN ARE WE GOING to SEE SOME FORM of ACCOUNTABILITY,or maybe put them in front of the ethics committee or do we not even have a effin ethics committee if you or me acted like that we would be. fired especially if you are a republican or conservative

THE LAW IN TX AND ANY OTHER STATE SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANY POLITICIAN TO VACATE THEIR SEAT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LIKE THE SUBJECT OF VOTE??????? THESE POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN (UNFORTUNATELY) VOTED IN BY THE PEOPLE TO DO A JOB????? SIMPLE…..”NO WORK….NO PAY”…..THIS GOES FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS OF GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!! Nancy Pelosi (AND OTHERS) TOOK ALMOST THE WHOLE YEAR OFF……BUT THEY WERE PAID!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!! I DO NOT ANY OTHER PERSON WHO DOES NOT WORK AND GETS PAID ANYWAY!!!!!!!!! THIS ABUSE OF POWER AND MONEY HAS GOT TO STOP???????? AMERICANS NEED TO HAVE MORE OF A VOICE TO CONTROL THESE POLITICIANS????????
The Democratic party proves once again its the party for the morally corrupt and ethically bankrupt !
Now , another catastrophe in the disaster unfolding in Afghanistan, Hundreds of U.S, interpreters being slaughtered,and billions of dollars of U.S. military equipment now in the hands of the taliban! Another avoidable total screw up by this CLOWN PRESIDENT
THAT IS CORRECT ON BOTH ARTICLES JIM S!!!!
Thank goodness, now we can rest better knowing that our elections laws will make voting fraud harder to accomplish.
I thought that it was to the point where reserve was seized and they couldn’t get their hands on anymore of our money. Is this still part of the movie. I think if people aren’t awake yet, they are not ever going to wake up. Thank you all for all you have and are doing. Good bless all of you. I’m still praying no matter what.
They should be considered unemployed and should not get any pay for the time they are/were gone.
Hooray
Did all of you vote in the last elections people need to vote every time or demorats will stay in office. We need a good reputable person to run as a republican. Woody
