Luckily the judges do NOT think being paid to do a job and not doing it is akin to a filibuster. They are taking a paycheck from the state of Texas to deliberate on bills and vote on them. They are stealing money from the citizens of Texas. They each have the right to vote against any bill they oppose. THAT is what they were elected for. If more of the elected officials vote for the bill it becomes law. These idiots should be punished to the fullest extent the law permits.

If the Texas legislature had a filibuster rule then these representatives could use it. I’m not an expert on Texas rules, but apparently there is no filibuster rule there.

In summary, what is sick is these losers fleeing their own state in a hissy fit.

The voters can decide.

I don't care if the Republicans use all their options either. If they don't have the option to arrest them out of state, they don't have the option.

Talk about this country turning into authoritarian countries like Russia or China. Let's arrest the opposition party and throw them in jail.
Being an American, seems pretty sick.
Too me, the Dems actions are akin to a filibuster

Oregon republicans have done similar walkouts for years now to prevent the Dems from being able to pass bills.

Never heard any of our righties who are so upset at the TX Dems complain about that.

Hypocrites.

Please name which of "our righties" are upset at the Texas dems.

I bet you can not provide a link to a single post by one of "our righties".

Your above statement is just another example of your usual bs trolling posts.

Looks to me like the SCOTUS has rendered decisions that have irritated both sides in recent days.

Quote:

Pennsylvania has, in recent years, seen some of the most alarming scandals of serious allegations of rape, molestation, and abuse, enabled by corrupt or callous
colleagues or supervisors. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s 2018 grand jury report on six Catholic dioceses uncovered “a systematic cover up spanning decades by senior church leaders in Pennsylvania and the Vatican.

In recent years, nearly 25 states have passed laws that have enabled thousands of deeply wounded victims of horrific child sex crimes to expose hundreds of sick adults who commit and conceal heinous child sex crimes.

Sadly, Pennsylvania is not one of them.

CHILD USA, CHILD USAdvocacy, and other advocacy groups in Pennsylvania (SNAP and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR)) have worked tirelessly for years to get this legislation passed in the state and answered all the questions there are on constitutionality, the burden on the courts, etc. — and still, nothing happens.
