Good for him. Let’s see what the USSC does.
God Bless Texas.

Sac, the republic is dead.
The law is what Deep State says it is.
And SCOTUS does what Deep State tells it to do.
Wonderful news. As for it being overturned in the Supreme Court I’m optimistic. This isn’t Ginsburg’s Supreme Court any more. This is the best chance we’ve had so far at overturning Roe vs. Wade IMO.
