The great defenders of Democracy

Red State: "Here We Go: Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum for Redistricting, and Now the Real Fun Begins." - "As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country." 

Flashback to 2011: "Wisconsin Democrats flee to prevent vote on union bill."  It didn't work then, either.
