Texas House Republicans have announced that if there is no quorum on Friday, they will end the special session, which means that Democrats will win round one in the battle for Texas.

1. OK I'm confused..................

2. The Texas Democratic politicians also

brought this Republican extreme anti-democracy tactic out onto the national stage, bringing in help from blue states. Since the Texas Republicans are bound and determined to fight democracy at all costs the only way forward is to take the fight to the national level with the assistance of states like California, New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts.

3. Round 2 begins immediately when they return to Texas.

Will they leave the state again or will hand Texas Republicans an easy victory?

4. I like your thread title better than the other OP on this topic.

Just saying. Are they going to leave again when he calls another session though?

7. The minute they go back to TX they are enemy #1

I don't know if they are prepared to stay out TX indefinitely.
