Texas Supreme court rules against runaway Dems

 Red States;

...

...  the Texas Supreme Court ruled against the Democrats as to Gov. Greg Abbott’s veto of their legislative funding. That means that they run out of funding at the end of September. So their tantrum is necessarily time-limited, if they want to be paid and if they want their staffs to be paid. So it gives Abbott a big win and the ability to pressure them. My colleague Brandon Morse wrote some more about that decision today.

The one thing that they had left was that a judge had ruled in their favor, granting a temporary restraining order and blocking the ability to arrest them for 14 days. That would enable them to return to the state and not get hauled into the House so that there could be a quorum.

But now, the Texas Supreme Court has issued a stay on that restraining order, in response to an emergency motion from Gov. Greg Abbott. This would appear then to re-open the possibility of the arrest option against the Democrats.

...

It looks like they have run out of bad faith options to thwart voter integrity laws.  Now they face not only arrest but contempt of court proceedings if they persist.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
