Bribery isn't civil it's criminal.
Also, Abbott could vacate their seats and hold a special election in September.
Your democrats are cheaters and sore losers.

This is an empty threat. Congressional members can solicit these funds. Even if they don't and people fund them anyway, this is not illegal. Renaming this as bribery doesn't make it so. Abbott is just desperate.

Texas AG says he's filed suit to remove 13 absent state Democrats from office in redistricting fight.​

We will see about that paul, congress members abandoning their seats is not normal procedure, I expect there will be repercussions for these democrats and democrats have been redrawing lines to gain seats since forever, so who's making a power grab?? Not Trump, your seat abandoning democrats are once again attempting to cheat the system.

Democrats are cheaters and sore losers.

More empty threats. There is no law that requires anyone to be there at the beckon call of Republicans. They may desire a quorum, but that doesn't mean Democrats have to give it to them.

Since WHEN has anything under trump been "normal" procedurally or otherwise???????

Give me a break, only now do you insist on decorum and standards???

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING??!?

It's so blatantly maga trying to distract from trump and Epstein/Maxwell that, mark my words, I fully expect next up will be the trump DOJ opening a new investigation into Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi...

Or maybe we'll get Obama's birth certificate again??!!??

Gota "flood the zone with shit" as Bannon has always said, it's trump's only move when he is clearly guilty of crimes...

I disagree paul, democrats have a duty to serve, they or at least some, may lose their seats over this.

Who the hell cares what some Texas State judge rules? No one outside of Texas is affected by this. Ken Paxton is a criminal as well. It is only his position that keeps him from being prosecuted. California will never carry out Ken Paxton's request.

The Texas Legislature's rules of quorum call are governed by the Texas Constitution and the rules set each legislative session. The House must have two-thirds of its members, or 100 people, present to meet quorum. The Senate also needs two-thirds, or 21 members, present. If members do not show up, they are subject to fines, reprimands, censures, or expulsion. The presiding officer can compel attendance of absent members, and the Sergeant-at-Arms may be used to secure attendance.

Don't expect these democrats to get away with disobeying their governor unpunished.

They are already being fined. That's all they can do to them. And, that only got passed recently. Democrats don't serve at the pleasure of the governor. They serve their constituents.

We will see about that paul.

Trump will continue winning and you progressive woke liberals will continue to lose.

Appeals Court Blocks Judge Boasberg’s Contempt Inquiry Into Trump Officials ​

Federal Appeals Court Overturns Judge Boasberg in Massive Immigration Win for Trump​

U.S District Court Judge James Boasberg was handed a defeat Friday in his bid to slap criminal contempt charges against Trump administration officials he said defied his order to block the deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.

Boasberg had sought to rein in the administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans and had threatened criminal contempt charges after finding that officials violated a Temporary Restraining Order he gave that planes heading for El Salvador with criminal illegal immigrants should return to the United States.

The 2-1 ruling of the panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit threw out the charges in what was dubbed “a massive victory for the Trump administration,” by CBS.

Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both of whom were appointed by President Donald Trump in his first term, supported the ruling.

Judge Cornelia Pillard, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, dissented.

Each judge wrote separate opinions. In his, Katsas called the dispute “an extraordinary, ongoing confrontation between the Executive and Judicial Branches.”

He wrote that Boasberg’s actions were designed to “vindicate a TRO that the Supreme Court had vacated for lack of jurisdiction," using the acronym for a Temporary Restraining Order.

"The district court’s order raises troubling questions about judicial control over core executive functions like the conduct of foreign policy and the prosecution of criminal offenses," he wrote.

He said the case also concerns “an unsettled issue whether the judiciary may impose criminal contempt for violating injunctions entered without jurisdiction.”

He added that "the government is plainly correct about the merits of the criminal contempt, and our saying so now would prevent long disputes between the Executive and the Judiciary over difficult, contentious issues regarding the courts' power to control foreign policy or prosecutions, or to impose criminal sanctions for violating injunctions entered without jurisdiction."

In short, she wrote, Boasberg’s effort “exceeds the court’s authority and amounts to a clear abuse of discretion,”

Of course you'd say that. You hate it every time you lose. But, that is what happens when your guy is a criminal.
