Here's what lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are saying about the move to block a controversial voting bill in the state.

[lisalange]

I hope they get arrested and put in jail as soon as they land back in Texas!

[justsayin]

This is so full of crap, I can't believe we have all this corruption in texas, They need to get out of Texas And go work in the DEMS states, They need help anyway.

[someguy]

[jaredflanagan]

[charlyish]

Arrest them!! They are public servants they need to stop being little b’s.

[robozombie]

Arrest them for abandoning their duties!

[wyattearp]

Mr. Abbott, have them all arrested for leaving and abandoning their office and oath of the TEXAS Constitution. This is no excuse what's so ever. Get rid of these Liars, and Corrupt politicians.

[chrisjett]

Send the Rangers and stop playing games!

[jasonwilson]

These people have a duty to serve the will of the people and not shirk that responsibility through self-serving political pandering.

[buffewo]

So, they want to make it easier to vote... But refuse to let the will of the people to be made into law if they don't like them...
How does this make sense?
Arrest them all.
