Texas politicians seek to end First Amendment Rights.

Observing anything is legal. Perhaps the only exception is minors peaking into a gentlemen's club.

Observing elections and REPORTING on them is a First Amendment Right. It is nothing short of journalism or the professional equivalent for publication in professional journals, anthropology.

State Dept: Texas can’t arrest international election observers (click here)

...“I’m not going to get into any kind of hypothetical situations or predict where this is going to go other than to say we have every expectation that this will be worked out and to state the fact, which is that under U.S. law they are eligible for immunities,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Reporters tried to get her to state explicitly that Texas could not arrest election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), but Nuland would only reiterate that OSCE observers have full immunity....

The reason foreign dignitaries are granted immunity is exampled in the ranting and threats of politicians in Texas. They are not inherent to our First Amendments, except, through treaties within the government. So, they are granted diplomatic immunity for occasions such as this. 

I just don't understand why Texans are so upset. What could they possibly observe? Maybe it is just more of that "Tough Talking Texas Rhetoric" they like in their politics.

Honestly. It is easy to see how the USA ended up in an unnecessary and illegal war. There is no sincere and meaningful communication taught in Texas. The bad habit must have come from acquired deafness of workers on the oil rigs.
