Nearly two dozen Texas House Democrats who fled the state last month have sued Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republican officials, alleging that GOP efforts to bring them back to the state Capitol for a special legislative session infringed on their constitutional rights. Abbott, House Speaker Dade Phelan and State Rep. James White are all named as defendants in the case. TEXAS DEMS TORCHED FOR FAWNING OVER THEMSELVES FOR ‘INDIVIDUAL SACRIFICE'"Once they step back into the state they will be arrested and brought back to the Capitol and we will be conducting business," Abbott said last month. "And the governor calls them, and I will continue calling special session after special session because over time it is going to continue until they step up to vote."
