Texas Republicans have voted to track down and arrest dozens of Democratic legislators who have fled the state to block passage of a partisan redistricting plan.

The vote passed by 85 to 6, following Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s threat of bribery charges against the absent Democrats.

After the vote, the governor ordered state troopers “to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans”.

    The exercise was not to find the rules, it was to post them when making reference to them. It’s called “citing your sources”. The intent is to support your position was source material so that the discussion doesn’t need to be sidetracked. Surely even a foreigner like you could figure that out?
