Comments
Upon their return to the great state of Texas, the Texas-11 should not just be relieved of their duties as Senators. They should be arrested, as well. And prosecuted for obstruction of justice and failure to perform the duties for which they have been entrusted by THE PEOPLE of the State of Texas to perform.
