The first warrant has now been issued for one of the Texas Democrat lawmakers who illegally fled the state in order to try and sabotage a piece of conservative legislation.
As The Hill reports:
Texas state House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) this week signed the first warrant directed at state Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., to prevent a vote on a controversial election bill.
Phelan signed a civil warrant Sunday for Rep. Philip Cortez, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
Cortez initially left Texas with fellow Democratic state legislators on July 12 but went back in what he said was an attempt to work with Republicans on the legislation opposed by Democrats.
Cortez returned to Texas on Wednesday to negotiate with Republicans before he fled the state for a second time.
Gov. Greg Abbott has vowed to call another session of the legislature once Democrats return to the state to ensure that the legislation in question isn’t sabotaged by the Democrats’ insane move.
What a bunch of outlandish childish acts! Stay here and debate the election security issues and come to a conclusion that works for ALL people! Otherwise resign your seat and let another person that WILL DEBATE this issue have your old seat. Cowards RUN when faced with real and sometimes difficult issues!!!
Yeah, nice idea but nothing will come of this. Too bad though, because I’d like to see them fully prosecuted for this ridiculous, childish, liberal stunt!
The party that lost the civil war and believes that some men are destined to enslave others sees an opportunity to build on the corruption of the Federal bureaucracy by Obama. These elites think that they are the best and the most entitled, as nobility of old, and they suffer from our very existence.
Wrong again the democrats were the party of slave owners ( even you know the great emanapator was Aberaham Lincoln) and he started party) you should spend more time reading history and less time reading democrat pablem. Educate and then we can have an adult conversation.
globalist puppet demonrat criminal party created slavery and created the kkk criminal organisation .
Disgust for fellow citizens is rampant in the democrat leadership. Why do voters keep them in office?
They are not being voting in. They are cheating at the ballot box. Re: being appointed like that slim ball Biden
There are more AMERICANS than globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep voters and globalists need to use voter fraud to appoint their globalist puppet, demonrat criminal party and globalist puppet, rino criminal party .
If someone leaves their job , they get fired. Why do they still have a job? Time us peasants tell the elite that it’s time for accountability.
Why can’t they all be fired for abandonment of their position. Then the session could hold a vote. They work for us. If I ever left my job of 39 years, I would not have one when I came back….
Not sure you can arrest a man for leaving the State?? I don’t agree with how the Dem’s did it but they are elected officials – you would think that they would stay and debate the issue. I didn’t know it was a crime to not show up when the Leg is called into session. Hope it works.
I believe they’ve done this before and apparently weren’t held accountable then. If they had been prosecuted the last time they might have thought twice this time.
More liberal distractions. Nero is fiddling again, and America is burning. These shenanigans demonstrate why we should clean house of these parasites, relatives, fraternity/sorority brothers/sisters and shyster lawyers. They have proved to be either incompetent (Mentally incompetent, in fact. Numb Nuts is an example) or crooks, commies, connivers and cronies. Our Constitution stipulates both freedom of speech and an unbiased, probing media. It wouldn’t take much probing to determine that it’s time to step up and rid ourselves of this regime.
globalist voter fraud ensures that American voters can’t clean up the house of globalist puppet; demonrat criminal party and rino criminal party .
Perhaps we should outlaw the Democrat Socialist Party following the up-and-coming second civil war.
They’re (Liberal government) way ahead of you. There’s a reason why we’re being disarmed, and fractured along racial, gender, sexual orientation and political lines. Numb Nuts and his kitchen Congress can mobilize the media, their beneficiaries, national guard and covert agencies to stem any insurrection they detect (And they’re ‘detecting, believe me..) Tyranny covers all those bases, so whatever dissident ruminations arise from the gentry, they’re prepared to counteract. Confronting such cabals entails a consensus among the population. We’re not at the stage where Americans are uniformly dissatisfied with the management. Before we get to that stage, the management will have us intimidated, marginalized, unarmed and watched like a hawk. It’s funny, but we’re watching an age-old scam being repeated for the umpteenth time. You’d think our schools and colleges would teach their pupils to recognize these signs.
Do not negotiate with these childish Democrats. It’s time to draw the battle lines.
What took so long?
LISTEN UP…ARREST the DEMOCRATS!!!! THEY are GOING DOWN!!!!! THEY are CORRUPT!!!! THEY Joined the DARKSIDE. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
Can anyone say, “Spoiled brat Democrat”? Maybe a few weeks behind bars will convince them to exercise their adult emotions.
Would love more details. Did Rep. Philip Cortez make ANY attempt to negotiate with Republicans in the state congress or was that just a ruse? If he did, who did he talk to and what transpired? What exactly prompted the warrant and did it happen before or after Cortez fled the state a second time?
arrest them all for not upholding thier oaths of office, for obstructing govt business, and for being babies, taaking thier ball and running. Ok the last maybe a reach but you get the idea. They should theen be stripped of thier office, and hopefully put in jail and if investigation brings up any corruption the appropriate sentencing should follow. For instance if these politicians accepted bribes then confiscation of all possessions.
These incompetent,dummycraps, acting like middle schoolers, all need to be arrested, have their pay cut, for not doing their job they were elected to do. These childish stunts by dummycraps, need to be reigned in, if they don’t want to do their jobs,need to be voted out of office.
Oregon’s Republican did the same thing leaving the state to avoid passing a bad piece of legislature where Governor Brown threatened to send the State police after them. They were vilified and demeaned even though it was a bad law. Now Texas is trying to pass a law that is appropriate and common sense for the people but the democrats as usual don’t like laws with integrity.
when these demorat terrorists holding the Texan hostage, this is insurrection and treason. the verdict is firing squad for overthrow the Texas state Constitution
All the democrats who fled the state must resign and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They have shirked their duties by being cowards.
