Chuck Shumer is welcoming the Texas Democrats who fled Texas to Washington DC, to make sure the special session in Texas could not proceed.
Shumer says he is proud of these Democrats for fleeing to, wait for it, "protect the rights of the minority party" while at the same time, calling for the elimination of the filibuster in the US Senate, which was put there for, wait for it, the protection of the minority parties rights.
And we wonder why nobody trusts these people.
Texas Gov. says he will have every one of them arrested ( on what charge I don't know ) when they return and bring them in handcuffs if necessary, back to vote.
Thing is, most of these Democrats have jobs other than their legislative duties that they will eventually have to get back to if they want to keep those jobs unless they have some very understanding bosses.
