The Chicago way is to find dirt on Abbot, tame him (blackmail), and have him do their bidding. What would they find? Don't know but that is one of the reasons NSA listens to everybody.
It may be that the Texas National Guard will be called onto defend Texas from Federal imposed queerdom. Ironic that the modern abomination-fest was imposed on the nation with a case called Lawrence v Texas. Texas - stand fast, resist the federal overreach; it may be that others will find courage in your example and join the cause of liberty, sanity and morality,
Your post made me laugh - they will find a tree fell on Abbott in his college days when he was jogging, and he has been wheelchair bound since then. He finished college, then kept going to become an attorney. Most people would have quit when the wheelchair got them. He was such a fine attorney and Republican, he is now our Attorney General.
He is hard as nails after going through what he physically did. He isn't afraid of any federal Democrats - they will also find he married an Hispanic lady and has been married to her only for all these years.
Blackmail - not hardly. He would sue their butts off for trying.
We have a Freeper man in a wheelchair who also didn't give up - Jim Robinson who made it possible for us to talk to one another.
