Do you even know the Texas state law? I mean, you're so involved in U.S. politics I'd think you'd be brushed up on it.
Let me clue you in. Texas state law gives the Governor of Texas the ability to issue arrest warrants to any member of the Texas House who abandons their post during the Texas session and voting period. It is considered an act of treason during peace time and can mean jail time for those that do.
It isn't fascist as you claim. You sound bitter, Aussie.
