Cornyn Crosses the Line — FBI Has No Place in State Politics
11 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
You know the FBI has no authority to hunt down Texas legislators. Breaking quorum is not a crime. It is a political maneuver used in Texas history by both parties without the threat of federal agents. You never called for FBI involvement during past quorum breaks. So why now? The answer is plain. You are angling for approval from Trump and trying to outshine Ken Paxton. That is politics at its worst. It is reckless, shameful, and beneath someone with your legal training and legislative record.
You understand the risks of turning law enforcement into a political weapon. Calling in the FBI for a state legislative dispute is not just wrong. It is dangerous. It chills dissent. It warps the rule of law. It signals to every lawmaker that disagreement will be met with federal muscle, not debate. This is the way of regimes we once condemned, not the conduct of a confident democracy.
In chasing power, you are losing your principles. Texans deserve a senator who defends the Constitution, not one who twists it for political gain. Withdraw your call. Respect the limits of the law. Put country before career and courage before cowardice. History will remember what you choose.
