Gov. Greg Abbott, the Texas Republican, criticized state Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., on Monday in an effort to deprive the Legislature of a quorum, thus the ability to vote on the GOP’s sweeping elections overhaul bill.
Abbott appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” on Monday to defend the bill and say the missing lawmakers will be arrested upon their return to the state. He said members of the Texas House of Representatives who are still in the state can call for the arrests of their colleagues who do not show up to vote. The one caveat is the arrest has to be made in the state.
“Once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business,” he said.

Can legislators be compelled to legislate? Why not simply count them as ‘abstained’?

Because they didn't. They walked out and decided to not do what their constituents elected them to do. Which is REPRESENT on their behalf.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 11:01 amCan legislators be compelled to legislate?

No idea what they’re angry about though. Probably party warfare - like trump being frogwalked during his administration.

Woh.
According to Bloomberg, More than 200 shopping malls were looted on Monday, and retailers had lost an estimated 2 billion rand ($137 million). There's also been widespread looting of warehouses.
Might be South Africa.
Might be Portland.
Might be Chicago.
The differences are rapidly diminishing.
