🚨 BREAKING: The Texas Supreme Court just shut down Greg Abbott’s effort to remove Democratic lawmakers from office for opposing his gerrymandering map.
The same Governor who tried to use the machinery of the state to punish legislators for voting their conscience.
The same Texas Supreme Court, every justice elected as a Republican, that just told him no.
This is the system working. Not Democrats vs. Republicans. Judges vs. overreach.
When elected officials can be removed from office for how they vote, representative government is over. The court saw it. They drew the line.
This is what guardrails look like when they hold.
Which other governors are watching this ruling tonight and what does it mean for the next attempt?
