Governor plans to go to a second special session and additional ones until the votes can occur. That $500/day fine adds up then and this should have been the approach from the start. Just wait them out and fine them for not doing their job.

There is going to be a second special session soon and it will get passed then. Nobody is going to be arrested, frog marched, or even detained. They will all finally come into the chamber and cast their party line vote, both parties will claim victory, and both parties will immediately get back to grift… er fundraising. This is always how it was going to end.

If they actually follow through with this it will end badly, possibly very badly, for the GOP officials involved.

This.

I don't see the Dems holding out until the new year... which they'd need to do to stop the gerrymandering. Then again, if deep pocketed concerns step in and finance the whole shebang... that might change the equation. Would have to be financed outside of Texas I suspect. Still, they can't lose too many defects or the quorum issue becomes moot.

Raising or accepting that money has been deemed bribery from what I can tell. That means that, even if they couldn't prosecute raising the money due to jurisdiction, they can (and will) prosecute the house members who accept it (unless they never return to the state they represent?). Beto is already likely going to be held in contempt for defying a judge's order and continuing to raise money. "There are no referees, so **** the rules". i.e. "We don't like what the judges say, so **** them and the law."

LOL. This from the party that accused Trump of ignoring the law/courts. They ignore the law and courts. They claim to be protecting democracy by refusing to allow it to happen. Over jerrymandering, which is what they have been doing for decades.

The crooked party of projection.
