Texas

In just one week, Texas passed a voter-restriction law, liberalized gun rights, and passed an abortion restriction bill that does an end run around constitutional law by going after women who get abortions after six weeks of pregnancy (which is usually when women find out they're pregnant).  Congress is unlikely to codify Roe v. Wade (which is already moot, given how abortion is already inaccessible in much of the country) thanks to the Senate filibuster rules, and even if it did the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, the same conservative majority that let the Texas abortion law go into effect (honorable exception - Chief Justice John Roberts) would likely find it unconstitutional.

Oh yeah, the new abortion law can be enforced by private citizens who can rat on violators and sue enablers of said violators by taking them to court - sort of a cross between bounty hunters and a citizens' Gestapo.

All thanks to Texas' Dear Leader, Governor Greg Abbott, who until this week was best known for banning locales from doing anything serious about combatting COVID.

People in the rest of the country had better not laugh at, much less mess with, Texas.  Because when America laughs at Texas, it's laughing at its own immediate future. 😱
