The US government just declared war against the State of Texas.....

Don't need Senators, they passed it 18-4. Need Representatives.

You are correct. It is representatives and not senators.

I hope you are not forgetting that democraps never seem to get in trouble for anything they do. This whole thing is just going to make them heroes in front of their constituents, and they have no reason to stop this civil unrest.

Could that be because of wishy washy republicans?

Maybe none of the Republicans want their houses burned down by peaceful demonstrators.

Maybe people should grow a spine and start holding people accountable for their actions, or show them such behavior has consequences.

Imagine where our country would be if the founding fathers felt that way.

Yeppers. We'd still be bowing to the king or queen of England.

If War has been declared on Texas.
Then we must have been seceded to prevail.
We be independant and unamerican because we are Texans

I totally agree but perhaps we should employ some of the tactics that they use. Perhaps like taking any conservative that votes with the libs on any issue take away their seats from any panel, or comittee they are on and blacklist them. That's how the democraps keep people in-line. To many Republicans feel that playing fair and reaching across the aisle is good. Sort of like full me once a lot and have no clue it's not going to work.
Sorry I got off track of the original post.

Sure. Let's resort to the philosophy that two wrongs equal a right.

It's kind of hard to stand on the higher moral ground when you are lying, cheating and doing all sorts of wrong just because the opposition does.

How does anyone know who is right when both sides are doing the same thing?

As @easy rider mentioned, jurisdiction.

It's okay for Pelosi to intrude and ignore jurisdictions, but not for others. And surely not because they are fellow commies like herself.

Which State(s) supplied NG to DC? (don't recall off top of my head, but they were invited)

Get'em to do an 'about-face', so to speak? Just a random thought...

So how is removing them from leadership positions in the House for abandoning their duty "lying, cheating, etc."?

 

[easy rider]

Well, put it this way, many believe the likes of Romney and Collins should be at the top of list of republicans to be primaried. I believe it should be McConnell. After all, he's the supposed leader.

The warrant is issued by the House Sergeant at Arms and is not a criminal warrant. It can only be enforced by the Sergeant at Arms or his specific appointee. He’ll have to wait until those chickenshîts come back before it can be served.

Or let them opt to never come back.
Works for me.

Republicans got no balls, just a sad fact

I'm not opposed to anything as long as it's legal, ethical and moral. When you stoop to cross those boundaries, and then try and justify or excuse your actions, just because the opposition does, IMO, that is doing the wrong thing, for the wrong reasons.

Quite a few members have proposed using such dirty tricks to win.

' Texas House Democratic Caucus Committee used donor and member money to fund the group's flight to Washington. It is also covering food and hotel costs'
Texas Reps lobbying for Fed vs state rights.
2 buses, 2 charter planes and 30 days in DC for 50 Reps ain't cheap! They still get their 7500$ salary.

Now you're just dreaming!

Who put up the money for the plane trip? I think I would want to know where that cash is coming from, inside or outside of Texas. I also don't figure these people are staying in dc because they were offered a discount on motel room rates for a large group, it's the richest place in the world. This is an expensive trip and if I were being represented by these people I would want to know who is paying, it's likely that they get their marching orders from their benefactors rather than their constituents.

Always follow the money

If you think about it, if the commecrats can run from this bill then the Republicans can run from any gun control bill .... right?
