Court Lets Texas Democrats Skip Duty

Texas Supreme Court shields runaway Democrats from any accountability for abandoning their seats.

The Texas Supreme Court just gifted Democrats another win for cowardice, rejecting Gov. Greg Abbott's bid to punish lawmakers who fled last summer and ground state business to a halt over redistricting. These House Democrats skipped town rather than debate maps that would reflect Texas voters' actual shift rightward, then claimed moral high ground while leaving constituents without representation. The all-Republican bench ruled their absence carried no enforceable price, proving once more that rules apply only when they inconvenience the left.

This tracks the same pattern Democrats perfected under Biden: block conservative governance by any means, then cry foul when consequences arrive. They lecture about "protecting democracy" while dodging votes that might expose their shrinking urban strongholds, all to preserve gerrymandered advantages elsewhere. Abbott's petition sought basic enforcement of legislative attendance, not some novel punishment, yet the court treated flight as protected speech instead of dereliction. National Democrats cheered the stunt, ignoring how the same evasion would draw felony charges if Republicans tried it in blue states.

Shut your suck hole, Hakeem Jeffries.

Satire. But you knew that.
