I'm not so sure that any Texas lawmakers basic rights of freedom are being violated given that the Texas Legislature procedural rules for Quorum (approved by both parties, including the lady who refused to sign) call for and authorize the Texas Speaker's requirement. I think that's why all the other affected Democrat lawmakers willingly signed the document and are only now tearing them up in an effort to make voters think the Republicans are being unreasonable. http://house.texas.gov/resources/rules
