Texas Democratic legislators have taken a page from their obstructionist colleagues in the U.S. Senate. If you have lost the majority, refuse to allow the process to go on. These Democrats have abandoned their duties in the Texas House and fled to Oklahoma. This may be the real reason the President has declared the state a disaster area.

If the Oklahomans are smart, they'll extradite the errant politicians. We have a saying in Texas: No man's life or lands are safe while the legislature is in session. Don't take the risk. Send our boys home.
