The latest escalation of violence between the States. Remember that Texas AG Ken Paxton is attempting to get the staff of a Seattle hospital extradited for providing gender-affirming care and abortions to Texas residents. Funny how they are for “State’s Rights” until it comes back to bite them.
The Justice department only gave Abbot until January 3rd to withdraw the law, then they’re suing they said in the article. Since it’s a pretty clear constitutional violation, there’s a good chance it will be stayed by a judge while the case is heard. Generally before filing a lawsuit its best to show you warned the other party to cut it out.The law also doesn’t take effect until March even if they didn’t do anything, so yes Biden is doing more than just threatening unless they retract the law within a couple days. They’ll be suing months before it takes effect unless the law is withdrawn by Texas. Texas knows this law is blatantly unconstitutional and will get overturned in a second though, it’s political grandstanding.
