So they got sick while skipping out from work, violating CDC guidelines and Biden's EO by flying on a plane with no masks, got drunk on cheap beer, and now they're sick.

I'd say that I feel bad for them but their current situation is entirely of their own making, I'm afraid.

I like the way your mind works.

Of course this assumes these Dem's actually have jobs.....

But don't states (and DC) usually cooperate with warrants issued by other states? If DC refuses to help Texas here, then we should definitely look long and hard at whether Texas LE resources are used to arrest anyone in Texas on outstanding warrants from that District, especially for things that are not illegal in Texas.

Also, is there a restriction on using bounty hunters to effect an arrest in another state and physically transport them back to Texas?

Dog...the big bad Dog. Dog, the bounty hunter! Lucky they didn't go to Hawaii or Duane (Dog) Chapman and Da Kine Bail Bonds woulda' got them.

I remember Dog arresting some sex offender in Mexico a few years back. I think he got in some hot water for that one, but of course that's crossing international borders.

If there is another active thread on this, I apologize. I couldn't find one.

Now that a large number of Democratic state legislators have fled Texas and announced their intention to live outside our state for as long as possible to block the expected repeated special sessions that Abbot will call, I'm wondering whether they meet the residency requirements to be eligible for the next election. This is what I get from Google on the requirements:

He or she must have been a resident of the state for two years immediately preceding election, and for one year immediately preceding election must have been a resident of the district from which he or she was chosen.

How can someone be a resident of Texas when they have not lived in the state for an extended period, and they have publicly announced their intention to live outside the state for an indeterminate period of time, with no definitive plans to ever return to the state.

I'm thinking that if they continue with this childishness, then they should all be declared to be ineligible to run for re-election in 2022, since they will not be able to meet the requirement of being a Texas resident for 2 years prior to November 2022, assuming that they decide to move back to Texas at some later point in time.
