If Texas is allowed to continue to enforce it's unique laws through a "marshall" service of the public, it will no longer be a state, but, an authonomous governing authority without any influence of federal law. It is legislated secession. The Republicans in the US Senate are enforcing that directive. They are turning State's Rights on it's head to satisfy Evangelicals that want to disconnect from any brush with abortion. They don't have a problem with poverty and the death penalty at all.
