Gov. Greg Abbott sues to remove Texas House Democratic Caucus chair in redistricting standoff
Gov. Greg Abbott filed an emergency petition Tuesday with the Texas Supreme Court to remove state Rep. Gene Wu from office after Wu and other Democrats left the state to delay Republican efforts to redraw congressional district lines.
The lawsuit from Abbott, a Republican, argues that Wu, the Texas House Democratic Caucus chair, violated the state Constitution and that his absence amounted to abandoning office.
With their absence, Democratic lawmakers have denied Republicans the legislative quorum needed to move forward with plans to redraw congressional boundaries and give the GOP five more House seats in Congress.
I argue that Greg violated the state and national constitutions, and presumably other things/people as well.
You'd be 100% right, which is illegal in Texas under Governor Greg the little piss baby and AG Ken the embodiment of corruption.
No gambler would take that.
The odds are too certain.
