The Texas Senate Democrats’ dream of a paid vacation for running away to Washington has come to an end after the Texas Supreme Court did not overturn Gov Greg Abbott’s veto of funding the legislation.
Gov Abbott vetoed the pay for the Texas legislature because the Democrats left the state and went to Washington to avoid voting on some voter integrity bills.
This was not the Democrat’s days as the court also ruled that Abbot CAN arrest the returning Democrats.
The Texas Supreme Court ruled:
“While in the District of Columbia, Democratic House members have met with members of the Biden administration and Congress to urge passage of federal legislation on voting and have held public meetings to draw attention to their cause. They have publicly stated that the importance of defeating the Republican-supported elections bill justified their departure from Texas and breaking quorum even though it also prevented the Texas House from restoring Article X funding. They have not returned to the House to allow it to continue the business. The Republican House members, for their part, have insisted that the House pass the elections bill and perhaps other legislative priorities before addressing Article X funding. The special session expired on August 6.”
“These public statements and events make it clear that the subject of the petition for writ of mandamus — the lack of Article X funding for the Legislature — continues to exist not because of a dispute between the Governor and the Legislature, nor even because of one between the Governor and a minority of House members. Rather, the principal dispute is among the members of the Legislature.”
Gov Abbott had vetoed part of the budget that funds the legislature.
The Democrats asked the Texas Supreme Court for relief, but they have now been shot down.
They actually wanted to get paid for running off and not performing their jobs.
Would your boss pay you because you took off to avoid doing inventory? (The job I hated more than any other in the world.) Or if you ran away to avoid doing whatever your job entails, should you or would you expect to be paid for that?
An honest court, for a change!
Now let’s work on the voters fraud
Yes. Each and everyone shunned their duties. Arrest them and hit their pockets for acting so childish.
childish is too kind….
Communists have no protection under the constitution. They have been the enemy of freedom since they took over russia.
Take the house & senate back; Finish the wall; no $ or help of any kind or health care for illegal persons; English language only; teach US history and Constitution in schools; audit the Fed Reserve; no visas of any kind except merit visas, revert to back our $ with gold, cancel the security clearances for all Obama, Biden hold overs and RINO’s & get rid of them; voting with photo ID only, NO MAIL-IN voting, NO SAME DAY VOTING REGISTRATION AND VOTING; no doing any business with China; do not use dominion HAMMER computer and scorecard software in future voting; seize all bank accounts belonging or affiliated with George Soros’ Open Society Foundations; stop the resettlement of illegals around the USA. This is my opinion.
I disagree with NO mail in voting; however I do think it needs to remain heavily restricted. There are valid circumstances in which it needs to be permitted, especily if the system reverts to only 1 day voting.
I would say just stop the influx of illegals entirely, by force, if necessary, secure the border& evict all those currently here. No more “asylum” or TPP, either.
As for Soros, arrest his sorry butt on charges of sedition, treason, & whatever else applies, & his son too.
All the rest I agree whole heartedly!
Instead of arresting the Wayward Texas Democraps fine them set the daily rate of the fines at 10 times the daily pay they get for being in office. That would include all money not just their salary. That means money for staff and all other things as well. When that money runs out seize their belongings and property sell it at auction and pay their fines with that. When all their money is gone if they have not returned boot them from office bar them from ever holding a Pyblic office at any level of Government for life, strip them of any licensesor certifications they have for life, and bar them for life from getting any kind of taxpayer funded assistance( Welfare and the such). Hitting them in the Wallet Will get them back in a hurry since Money and Power are all Democraps care about.
That might be a bit extreme; but I agree they should be required, forced if necessary, to repay what they have stolen from the state, both in time & mony, & barring from any future office is also good. Clearly they are incapable of handling the job.
I’m making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.

onto your computer. Don’t believe me, I dare you!!
I think there should be a tally of the total expenses incured by these lawless Democrats and divided among all of them then garnish their future wages for the rest of their lives until it is all paid back to the taxpayers.
LIBERALS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!!
How about Texas send me some money?
I could use it!
of course, I haven’t been in Texas for 20 years but that seems trivial.
PS Please make the check out to “cash”.
NO job I know of, in the real world pays you for going UA, or otherwise shirking your duties. These legislators were not “drafted” or otherwise coerced into the jobs, so their behavior is nothing more than a childish tantrum over not getting their way about a contentious issue. Even their excusefor running off betrays their unwillingness to heed what the majority of our state actually WANT to happen. We WANT our votes protected against the kinds of fraud that have been going on in recent elections, or in some cases, for many decades. That these do not, shows they’re out of touchwith voters in the state. Personally, I think they should all be fired, fined for the costs of their junkets & plunked in jail for the time they have cost Texans, as well.
