Gov. Greg Abbott filed an emergency petition Tuesday with the Texas Supreme Court to remove state Rep. Gene Wu from office after Wu and other Democrats left the state to delay Republican efforts to redraw congressional district lines.
The lawsuit from Abbott, a Republican, argues that Wu, the Texas House Democratic Caucus chair, violated the state Constitution and that his absence amounted to abandoning office.
With their absence, Democratic lawmakers have denied Republicans the legislative quorum needed to move forward with plans to redraw congressional boundaries and give the GOP five more House seats in Congress.
I argue that Greg violated the state and national constitutions, and presumably other things/people as well.
You’d be 100% right, which is illegal in Texas under Governor Greg the little piss baby and AG Ken the embodiment of corruption.
No gambler would take that.
The odds are too certain.
These people are vile. They do not believe in the principles that this country was founded on.
Make sure you put in on the docket right after a trial addressing human trafficking charges against Abbott for shipping bus loads of immigrants from Texas to northern Illinois in the middle of winter with no warm clothing or arrangements to get them to shelter.
“You are now sending asylum seekers from Texas to the Upper Midwest in the middle of winter — many without coats, without shoes to protect them from the snow — to a city whose shelters are already overfilled with migrants you sent here. Chicago’s temperatures this weekend are forecast to drop below zero. Your callousness, sending buses and planes full of migrants in this weather, is now life-threatening to every one of the arrivals. Hundreds of children’s and families’ health and survival are at risk due to your actions,” Pritzker wrote. - From a letter to Abbott published in the Austin, TX American-Statesman newspaper
