Shithole Texas, shocking.

So we love and must protect the 2nd amendment because our constitutional rights are so important, but fuck the 1st amendment and fuck your constitutional rights to protest if we don't agree with it. Basically the GOP in a nutshell.

She went to Washington DC because she didn't want to vote for a law that strips voting rights away from Texans.

She refused to vote on Texas voting restrictions. She left with every democrat in the Texas house. It's funny when a republican does it but if you are a democrat, don't even dare doing it. Fuck Abbott and his shitty laws setting Texas back to the 1930s.

If there aren't enough votes to vote against, a bill could be blocked by just not showing up. Though then the government at the time can issue a warrant for their arrest because they are legally required to show up and do their job.

This exact situation happened in reverse a few years ago with the republicans fleeing the state (Oregon), except in Oregon's case, the repub's fled to prevent
a) funding schools; and
b) a Carbon tax

While the texas dems have fled to stop an attack on voting rights.

Just wait until Republican gain power again (and they will). We'll be seeing a lot more Democrats being arrested. Then regular citizens will start being arrested for bullshit reasons. This is what happens when you don't try to stamp out fascism.

It would still be a crime if, instead of going to a protest, she'd simply sat at home eating potato chips. What she did instead of showing up, while almost certianly a factor in the motivation for enforcing the law here, is irrelevant to whether or not she did something she could legally be arrested for (morally is a very different question).

I get the distinct feeling you're still pretending she's part of the Texas House, which, again, she is not. She's a US Representative and has no bearing on any proceedings of the Texas legislature.
Also, it's in fact not criminal for the Texas Democrats to leave the state. None of them can be arrested for anything, the Texas Constitution merely allows for the legislature to compel the attendance of absent members in such manner and under such penalties as each House may provide.

Not "pretending", "mistaken", and in that case, yeah, this is bullshit.
