Nothing to see here, just more straight up fascist stuff out of Texas.
Or what?
What actually, realistically, happens if they get in their car and leave?
How can you get in your car and leave when you're locked in?
If the house voted on rules that allow for this escort crap, then the sergeant at arms can enforce it.
The Texas Constitution empowers the legislature to compel the attendance of its members using whatever means each chamber may enact in its own rules.
They'll get arrested. They have "active arrest warrants"
Bumped up Texas on my "most likely states for the civil war to erupt from" list.
why did they go back?
This is so fucked up.
