United States District Court Northern District of Texas Lubbock Division State of Texas, No. _________ Plaintiff, v. Merrick Garland; United States Department of Justice; Charlotte A. Burrows; Jocelyn Samuels; Keith E. Sonderling; Andrea R. Lucas; Christopher W. Lage; Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; Alejandro Mayorkas; United States Department of Homeland Security; Tae D. Johnson; U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement; Peter E. Mina; Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties; Deanne Criswell; Federal Emergency Management Agency; and Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Defendants. ORIGINAL COMPLAINT On December 23, 2022, only 201 of the Members of the House of Representatives were present in the House’s chamber. As that was less than half of the Members, a quorum was not present. The House therefore enjoyed only two powers: it could “adjourn from day to day” and “compel the attendance of absent Members.” It was constitutionally unauthorized to do anything else.
