Which is what the Democrats in Texas are trying to do by leaving the state to prevent the legislature from having a quorum.

Exactly. And Pritzger, Newsom and Hochul are supporting them and telling Texas that they will do the same in their states to counterbalance any mischief they do by changing the congressional district boundaries to deliver Trump his extra House members.

Nationwide, Republicans have abandoned the rules and are attempting to ensure their authoritarian, anti-Democratic vision by force.

It's good to remember that John Adams, John Hancock and those other founders who lived in New England, along with their Committees of Correspondence..... realized that you can't play by Queensbury Rules when your opponent is a barbarian whose only interest is ensuring his own continuing dominance.

They dumped tea in Boston Harbor, and even as they petitioned the King of England for redress, they were busy stocking powder, shot and cannon in Concord MA.
