Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) seems to have spotted an opportunity for a new Trumpian stunt now that it’s been confirmed that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is prepared to raze down Roe v. Wade.
… our entire democratic republic, from the inside out.
My cat sticks its tongue out like that sometimes. No idea why.
Abbott probably doesn’t either. But your cat w/b a better governor.
“I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again,” he continued.
Zombie lawsuits. They will never really die.
My cat would not tie up the border with unnecessary vehicle inspections and ship migrants to D.C., that I can tell you. She would have fixed the electrical grid and fought to keep abortion safe and legal. She would not be pushing the Big Lie. In ways big and small, she is no Abbott.
The Fascists are all hard right now. SMH.
"Abbott, who is up for reelection this year, has put cartoonish anti-immigration theater front and center of his agenda, from deploying thousands of Texas National Guard troops to the southern border (aka “Operation Lone Star”), to imposing extra border checks on cargo coming from Mexico, to sending buses and planes carrying migrants to D.C.
“Each gambit has proven to be a failure in unique ways: The National Guard troops who were assigned to Operation Lone Star are demoralized by a lack supplies and decent housing; Abbott was forced to end his extra border checks because they were clogging up traffic and causing an economic catastrophe; and migrants are pretty happy about the free trips to D.C., where they can be more easily connected to immigration assistance services.”
Does all this still get Abbott reelected?
Can Beto beat him?
You know, Abbott, you can’t find “wheelchairs” in the constitution. Congress, which is in the Constitution, had to pass the ADA to accommodate your paralysis. In many ways, the founders were wrongheaded and stuck, slaveholding being one instance, but I can’t fathom them holding that the Constitution was a handbook for afflicting people.
I hope he has as much success with this as he did as AG trying to ban sex toys.
If the abortion ban goes through at SCOTUS, Beto can beat him, I’m pretty sure. Even if the abortion ban doesn’t go through, Beto can beat him now. Go Beto, run!
or let’s say Texas having to bear that burden
Big strong Texas Republicans can’t handle education.
Putting the true shits in wheelchairs is genius.
So they’re coming after children now? My surprised face. 
I haven’t ever seen evidence of that. It scares them so much that they appoint people to censor schoolbooks.
The idea of keeping brown kids out their kids schools is very alluring to women in certain communities, he can probably win some democratic votes with that.
Right now?
No
Debates might cut that lead, but Abbott is up 11 (last poll).
Don’t Mess with Texas is their motto.
But Abbott is messing with Texas.
So, the motto might should be Don’t Abbott with Texas.
Traction?
Texas is already messed up.
Interesting history
From the article
“ The scope of the law meant that President Bush endorsed, supported, and signed the most ambitious piece of civil rights legislation in the nation’s history. Here was an important paradox. The Republicans and George Bush used civil rights as a wedge issue to separate majority whites from minority blacks, yet Republicans and particularly George Bush viewed civil rights for people with disabilities as ideologically compatible with the Republican approach toward government. The differences in the presidential rhetoric were striking. President Bush did not hesitate to link civil rights proposals with the establishment of hiring quotas. Two months before signing the ADA, he called quotas “wrong… they violate the most basic principles of our civil rights tradition and the most basic principles of the promise of democracy.” At the same time, the President regarded the ADA as a means toward allowing people with disabilities “to achieve their highest priority, namely, the independence necessary to achieve control over their own lives and integration into the mainstream of American life.” “
