#5 This fight, in their view, will be won or lost in Washington DC - where Democrats have control - not in Texas, where Republicans call the shots.

Typical Dem bullshit - when you're losing and getting your ass kicked, change the rules. Calvinball writ large.

#8 It is, however, a symbolic move. It probably only delays the inevitable in Texas and is unlikely to change the dynamic in Washington

In other words, it's just "grievance theater," generically known as the hollow gesture. But the dem politicians and their useful idiot voters have an insatiable appetite for it.

#10 Arrest them all. They are obstructing the wheels of the government. Toss them in the clink until Washington, D.C. releases the Jan. 6th insurrectionists (Trump supporters) (sarc) from jail.

#11 They resigned from their obligation to represent in good faith, leaving the positions unoccupied until a special election can be concluded, thus changing the required count for a quorum.

And if the Texas Pubs are really on it, they are as we speak getting the minimum number of signatures required for those districts, with the special election this Friday, and there is only one name on the ticket.

*Chris, notice nobody has a mask, not even dangling for the pictures.

#12 The Socialist bill in Congress is a clear power grab - We The Party. They'll have to demonstrate a clear and unquestionable proof of massive voter suppression to SCOTUS to justify that grab. It'll be challenged to there no matter what the Party does.
