I still don't understand how this can be allowed. They're paid to represent their communities and go on a vacation instead-I feel like the Republicans need to just ball up, issue a 48 hour ultimatum of 'If you don't get your asses back here, your votes are counted as abstaining,' and let them cry about it afterwards.
The problem with the texas legislature is they must have minimum number of people there to have what is called a quorum. This is the least amount of people there to have a vote on something. It is to prevent a minority from acting like a dictatorship, but it has been abused to by a minority to prevent anything they don't want to pass from even being worked on.
Yeah, I understand the quorum. My issue comes back to 'How is the quorom allowed to have standing when they actively admit they're just using it to blueball everyone else?'
While I am normally in favor of anything that makes legislators move slowly so they have to consider everything and can't kneejerk us into 53 world wars, admitting malice in your tactics should make your vote null and void.
