Why are the Democrats that fled not sitting in prison?

people, this is just the texas version of filabuster.

nothing unusual.



and doing this is not a crime, so they dont go to prison.


and what's up w/ saying that dem's used poll taxes to stay in power?? that was way back!! no blacks vote democrat!

They were supposed to vote on new district lines. The dems didn't like the way the lines were drawn.

If you put them in prison you wouldn't have a quorum for the remainder of the legislative session (or however long they were in prinon). This can't be good for the state of Texas either.

They did however arrest one and force her to go to work, the others they couldn't arrest because they were in Oklhaoma.

The last time this happened was 20 years ago. What do you mean, "noting unusual"?



What....have you never heard of states like Alabama and Mississippi? Predominately black and they go democrat almost all the time. Most blacks involved in exit poling lean democratic. What about Jesse Jackson, I don't think he voted for Bush.
