This is literally what the civil war was fought over. Southern states making shitty laws and attempting to enforce them over the will of northern states. The south lost the first time, and they’ll lose again.
I was raised not far from where William T Sherman was born.
I feel a strong urge for southern BBQ and a nice stroll coming on. I might go visit the sea.
The hospital won't fit in the jail, its a much bigger building.
Big if true
but.... if they build prisons and jails like they do high school football stadiums.......
Then maybe we could get my private prison friends and your construction contractor friends and put all this tax money in each other's pockets.
On a real note, if you haven't yet, check in with your local elections and always make sure to vote in them. Republicans usually have better turn out in them and they are key to diminishing the power these chucklefucks wield.
He's not even thinking this through to a logical end. If this is legal (and I really doubt it is) wouldn't that mean that Texans can be sued by anyone in a state with more restrictive gun laws if a gun sold in Texas ended up being used in a crime elsewhere? What about training? Ammunition?
What a buffoon.
Hell, in some states you could make the argument that denying gender affirming care is denying medically necessary treatment.
State of Washington should counter sue Texas hospitals for their failure to provide adequate and fair treatment.
Attorney's for the hospital have not been available for comment, as they're still recovering from the laughter.
Luckily it's a hospital and laughter is the best medicine, so they are not expected to be out of action for long.
Seattle should pass a law that requires Houston residents pay property tax to Seattle and then seize homes with unpaid taxes and sell them to recoop any unpaid taxes.
Why not?
TX = midling 20% average participation by youth Vote. Anything which doesn't directly address that is blowing smoke, so just ignore that an 8-12 point increase in that number would mean no more R State wide.
Good luck with that, Magoo
Texas showing once again that they're for state sovereignty, smaller government and individual freedoms.
Maybe the Texas AG should focus on why they keep charging grade schoolers for felonies and arresting them without a guardian present because they're supposedly all about 'protecting the children', right?
Redact the entire report and fax it to his office as fully black pages.
What a fucking loser.
Refer to "Arkell v Pressdram" is the only reasonable response to the indicted fraudster Ken Paxton.
I'm starting to think that the US may need to invade Texas.
How does this work in the US? Can he arrest the doctors / directors if they ever go to Texas?
