Kolier says that she Slept on the floor of the house Overnight.
Colier on Tuesday described CBS News as “The Techout” that several other Democrats would “tear their permission slip” and join the House floor on Tuesday night.
“I refuse to follow this inappropriate, United Nations-American and unnecessary request,” said the colir.
Meanwhile, in a prisoner corpus application filed in the Austin State Court on Monday, the lawyers of the colir accused the “illegal imprisonment”.
The petition stated that the state representative Charlie Geren, a Republican, who presided over the House Administration Committee, told Kolier, “If you leave the capital, you are subject to arrest.” The state police escorts are not mentioned in the petition of the colir.
