Wish he could use the line item veto...
What should have happened.
See if Abbot will declare emergency on TX border, if yes, Refuse to sign the bill, declare an emergency on the border, AND Include funding for the Government as part of the Emergency. Then seek a declaretory judgement in a Texas court that the Emergency declaration to build the wall is legal.
They will challenge the declaration, but will have to file in Tx to overturn the declaretory judgement. If they challenge the Emergency Declaration that includes Governemnt funding then they will be the ones who shut it down.
This incoporates ideas from several FR Posters in the last month. Not sure if this will work. but it would be interesting.
