First: THE HEADLINE
Gov. Abbott Calls Surprise Special Session As Texas Dems’ Vacation Stunt Falls Apart
BIG ERROR: The call for a new special session is absolutely NOT a 'surprise'. Abbot has stated, repeatedly, before this that he indeed WOULD call another 'Special Session'. He did.
Second: On the 'return of the demoncraps'
Democratic Caucus said that the lawmakers will return on two conditions, both of which are expected this week. First, that the Texas Legislature ends its first special session on Friday, and second that California lawmakers introduce their expected proposal that could offset the GOP gains in Texas.
A. It was NOT simply two demands. It was three. The missing demand was that a 'new special session' not be supported by the legislature. That demand is not, and will not be met.
B. Given point A above, Townhall's speculation about (sic)'both' conditions being met AND that the demoncraps will actually return are HIGHLY DUBIOUS.
