The warrants issued to arrest Texas Democrats who fled the state to stymie a GOP attempt to redistrict the state lack the legal weight to do what the Republicans want them do.
Appearing with MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Saturday, she was asked, "Quick question for you: because you're a lawyer, why would [FBI director] Kash Patel take [Texas Republican] John Cornyn's phone call about getting the FBI to round up people? I don't know what the crime is."
"There is no crime, you already know this," the Texas Democrat replied. "And just so people understand, even the warrants that they put out for them, they are signed by the speaker of the [Texas] House. I mean, this is not a law, a law enforcement official. This is not a judge. This is not a prosecutor. This is no one whomsoever would normally sign off on a warrant."
"And that is because it is not a criminal warrant," she elaborated. "This is only giving license to someone who is found within the state of Texas, to then grab them and take them back to the [legislature] chamber. If they take them anywhere other than the chamber, then they are looking at a civil rights violation because they have not broken any laws."
"So this is just a matter of a civil situation and frankly, this is a family situation as far as i'm concerned, because basically, the family known as the legislators in the Texas House have decided that they don't want to come to the table and have a conversation about doing right by Texas," she added. "They have decided that they would steamroll and disrespect their colleagues as well as their constituents in this moment, so that they can appease the mad king."
