      what are the charges? Serious replies only plz

      That’s just cruel. Succulently cruel.

      But in seriousness the charges are irrelevant, the fascists are long past pretending to care about the rule of law.

      FTA:

      Paxton in 2021 won a state Supreme Court ruling allowing the arrest of legislators — Democrats by definition of the state’s partisan mix — who broke quorum.

      Probably obstruction of governmental process or however they phrase it there. It won’t stick after appeal but seems pretty likely to be a kangaroo court type dealio to get them out real quick.

      Even weirder they’re civil so probably some policy violation they’re trying to make a felony but trying to charge civilly which isn’t how anything works and anytime who’s seen schoolhouse rock should probably be aware of it.
