Too vague and not good enough.
Nullification, Governor. Nullification.

He sounds like he’s keeping his options open.
But I’m being hopelessly optimistic.

Worthless piece of anti-christ crap. Abbott can take a flying leap.

Caving? Did you read the press release?
What else would you have Abbot do, except tell the SOCTUS to eff off?

He signed the Pastor protection act. Have any other states done the same?

All the elected officials will cave. None of them will practice open civil disobedience.

I am glad we have Abbot. Can you imagine what Governor Abortion Barbie would have done?

I am thankful that Gov Abbott is doing this. Hopefully it is not just a reprieve in the face of future persecution.

You answered your own question.
To: Cboldt
Most likely you are right, but I don’t have to like it.
