Well, it seems that Texas Democratic lawmakers who decided to oppose the voting law by fleeing the state to Washington, DC for taxpayer-sponsored vacations are suddenly awakening. On Thursday, the State Senate passed the bill by a vote of 18 to 11.
After Democratic Senator Carol Alvarado (Carol Alvarado) conducted a 15-hour obstruction bill in vain to postpone the vote, the state Senate passed it.according to National Review Texas rules prevent lawmakers from “sit down and rely on [their] Work at the desk, go to the bathroom, or talk about topics that are not related to the bill. “
I hope she is wearing a decent diaper.
After Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan signed an arrest warrant and arrested 52 wayward lawmakers who refused to return to the legislature during the second special session, the obstruction bill was launched. Their absence means that the Senate has not reached the number required for a quorum. Preventing a quorum was the reason the Democratic Party fled in the first place.
The team’s original plan was to leave the state so that it could not reach a quorum and wait for the process to end. They hope to stay in Washington before the end of the first special session, and they can prevent the passage of the bill.
Legislators spent their holidays in Washington, allegedly lobbying for voting rights and promoting the “Bill for the People”, a Democratic conspiracy aimed at making the elections basically federalized and leaving the states almost unable to control it. One process. They also made an unfortunate decision to sing “We Will Overcome” on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, which is one of the worst songs of all time.
However, their strategy proved to be a complete failure. In fact, when Governor Greg Abbott announced that he would continue to hold special meetings until the bill was considered, it was clearly doomed to failure. These people only have so much time away from home. Their voters will definitely lose patience at some point.
In addition, just like their comrades in the Democratic Party, the legislators did not use their moral beautification of Jim Crow 2.0 and the so-called deprivation of the rights of black voters to fool anyone. After the law was passed, they somehow could not vote. Just as they failed to convince the public that blacks were too incompetent to obtain proper identification, they would not convince anyone that Bulconner would come back from the dead and prevent African Americans from participating in the election process.
Nonetheless, it is worth noting that even after the House of Representatives passed the law-which will undoubtedly be-the Democrats have not yet finished their battle to ensure they control elections at the federal level. If they succeed, the law passed by the Republicans of Texas will be meaningless.
