Texas governor threatens to arrest Democrats who blocked voting law by fleeing state

Texas Democrats have become outlaws, fleeing the state as Republican colleagues and Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to arrest and confine them in a dramatic battle over voting rights.

Late Monday, more than 50 Texas Democrats flew to Washington, D.C., breaking quorum during a special session of the state legislature and effectively stalling Republican colleagues’ proposed voting restrictions.

“We can’t hold this tide back forever. We’re buying some time,” said Rep. Chris Turner, the Texas House Democratic leader, pleading with congressional Democrats to pass a national voting rights bill before the proposed Texas laws are passed.

Obstructing legislation by sending an email that says "I filibuster" = Okay

Lawsuit targets Texas abortion law deputizing citizens to enforce six-week ban

Abortion rights advocates and providers filed a federal lawsuit in Texas on Tuesday seeking to block

a new state law empowering individuals to sue anyone assisting a woman with getting an abortion,

including those who provide financial help or drive a pregnant patient to a clinic.

A dozen states have passed laws banning abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy.

But the Texas law, set to take effect in September, goes further by

incentivizing private citizens to help enforce the ban -

awarding them at least $10,000 if their court challenges are successful.

Even religious leaders who counsel a pregnant woman considering an abortion could be liable,

But setting aside a bit of sloppiness with phrasing, perhaps you could explain what exactly the legislation that got passed actually DOES, and how it addresses the problem.

Unless all you have is handwaving, as usual. Pony up or admit you have no fucking clue.

Qchrisy has great resources at hand (i.e., mom and dad) so he should have an answer for you as soon as they get back from work.

Stay tuned for boom or not.

It worked just as Perry and Abbott intended. They knew this was coming after the rolling blackouts we had in 2011 when it got cold (18F in San Antonio) for one morning.

If you actually read the bills section 2 establishes a commission and that's it, also if 2 people on that commission word at a university the commission is not valid.

Section 3 calls for plans and that's the majority of the bill it just wants submitted emergency plans. Pipeline operators are subject to having to change their facilities though, if they have repeated weatherdifficulties, which the bill doesn't say anything about being retroactive so that means the counter starts now. The real stupid part of section 3 is in the beginning where they say that Texas should establish education on "disaster kits" so already they're giving the game away, passing the buck onto texans for "not being prepared" and admitting power disasters will come. Other than that there is nothing about improving facilities, just energy operators have to produce "plans for bad weather" (paraphrasing). As for the cost thing the state will provide a max price the Energy Operator can charge, but the EO can get that they money lost back if they can prove that they needed it for operations which they definitely will. So it doesn't pass the cost onto the operator, at all. Also it allows for people to apply to be "critical houses" if they are on electricity machines to stay alive. That means literally nothing when a provider has to shut off an entire grid. But it does pass the blame from the fossil fuel industry to the energy company.

As for the water thing, water plants are now "critical infrastructure" which they weren't before? And water companies have to provide plans for giving away water when they're power is cut anyway which SAWS did anyway. Also during a "weather emergency" you can't cut off someone's water, which SAWS said they wouldn't do anyway.


TLDR this is propaganda bullshit and does nothing to prevent further cold related outages

You're viewing this too much based on how it impacted customers and not enough on how it impacted energy billionaires.

Well those in the house make what $147k a yr so I'd say our local reps make less. Either way IDC how much they make as long as they take $0.01 of our tax money they work for us and not the other way around! Fuck their dumbass activism and fuck those that make excuses for them too.

They're actually doing their job by not showing up. As far as getting laws passed or not, which is their job, there's no difference between this and filibustering everything and getting nothing done.

Local politicians flying anywhere and leaving their duties behind in the locale isn't them doing their jobs. They aren't in congress so they have no need to fly to DC.

We the people need to start holding these "activists" feet to the flames.
