Texas set up razor wire on the border. Feds want to cut some of it. Texas sued the Feds to ban them from cutting the razor wire and the Supreme Court narrowly overturned the ban that Texas sought. The Feds are being told they can take down Texas' wire but Texas can replace them, only to be taken down again by the Feds. A lot of boba liberals are acting like the Texas Governor is standing against the Supreme Court but all the Supreme Court said was that the Feds aren't banned from cutting wire (so long as the wire itself can be considered an obstruction? unclear because the entire decision is two fucking sentences).
In my opinion, this is little more than yet another crack in the legitimacy but a lot of people are reading this as a powder keg waiting to explode if Biden doesn't handle this carefully, potentially leading to a secession crisis (which admittedly, would be great).
I think his about Texas using their national guard to stop federal border control from managing it and the supreme court ruled Texas couldn't do it but they said too bad and put themselves on a confrontation footing.
Run on sentence explanation!
