Texas democrats do not like the fact that they are in the minority and that they cannot totally get their way in attempting to preserve measures designed to protect voter fraud, so they have thrown tantrums and filed court cases against the legitimate lawmakers and officials for doing their jobs as required by American laws and traditions. Democrats filed charges of oppression of their rights because republicans have tried to force them to do their jobs as required by law. Democrat lawmakers are vacationing in Portugal instead of doing their jobs because they like that idea better. And the democrats lawmakers, as usual, claim this oppression is because of racism, the same old stupid dead horse they always drag out in politically related issues and debates.

Texas House Democrats who fled the state last month to block legislation from becoming law filed a lawsuit against top Texas Republicans late Friday, arguing they have been, among other things, "deprived of liberty."
The news comes after two Texas House Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C., were caught vacationing in Portugal.
What are the details?
Nearly two dozen Texas House Democrats, 22 in all, filed a lawsuit in federal court against Gov. Greg Abbott, House Speaker Dade Phelan (R), and State Rep. James White (R).
The lawsuit argues that Abbott, Phelan, and White are collectively depriving Texas House Democrats of their First Amendments rights to free speech and to petition the government for redress of grievances. The Democrats claim they have been "deprived of liberty for substantial periods of time, suffered much anxiety and distress over separation from their families, and much discomfort and embarrassment," the Texas Tribune reported.
The Democrats even claim they are being targeted because of their skin color, claim they are being harmed, and claim they have been the victims of "retaliatory attacks, threats and attempts at coercion relating to the exercise of their First Amendment rights."
However, as the Texas Tribune noted, the lawsuit provides no evidence of the lawmakers being targeted because of their race, provides no evidence of the alleged harm against them save for "public statements," and fails to provide evidence to corroborate the alleged "retaliatory attacks."
