GESTAPO
Texas Democrats located by Dept. of Homeland Security
Republican lawmakers in both Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas availed themselves of federal agencies within the Department of Homeland Security to track down missing Texas Democratic legislators. The Democrats had secretly fled to Oklahoma in order to shut down the legislature and scuttle a Congressional redistricting bill. The issue here is we were promised that the Department of Homeland Security would never be "used for domestic political purposes."

Americans deserve to know the details of this scandal. And they deserve to know them now.
Yes they do.
However they also deserve to know what scumbags (in this case) the democrats are. They didn't like the way the vote would go so they skipped town. Scumbags!

"Lawmakers say their exile was the only way to stop a plan to redraw the state's districts to create more Republican seats.
Redistricting is attempted every decade in conjunction with the census, but Democrats said this plan was unnecessary because new districts were drawn two years ago."

i think they were doing what they had to do to kill the bill. make it so theres not enough members of the house present to legally vote on a bill and keep it that way till the bill expires. (which they did)

The repubs are only doing what the dems have done for years and now they (dems) whine about how unfair it is. Well too fucking bad. All they did was to postpone the inevitable.

Well thats what they've been saying!
All these new rules are necessary to ensure my safety from all the "lone wolves" terrorists that operate independantly and will strike at any time. I might just move to america if they pass those impantable national id chips that could be scanned to show all your information, because then it would be impossible for terrorists to blow me up, cus they're all just waiting for a lapse in security.
