The Texas Supreme Court has ruled Democratic state legislators can be arrested and compelled to return to the state House to force consideration of voting legislation they previously tried to block.

Most of the Democrats who flew to Washington, D.C. — there were more than 50 who left to break quorum and fled to avoid arrest at the beginning of July — are back in Texas. That puts them back in Texas jurisdiction and, after Tuesday’s ruling, at risk of ending the nearly six-week saga due to law enforcement.
