RINO Abbott
Always a good day to remember what Abbott is.
| The low bill number means this is a bill Speaker Dade Phelan supports, which means it is a bill Governor Abbott wants. There are tentacle placeholder bills over in the TX Senate. All of this means that HB 3 is a bill we can expect to be fast-tracked by Republicans having their arms twisted.
What’s so bad about HB 3? From HB 3, Sec. 418 A.002(6): “clarify and strengthen the roles of the governor, state agencies, the judicial branch of state government and local governments in the prevention of, preparation for, response to and recovery from a pandemic disaster;” This should scare the living daylights out of every Texan! HB 3 doubles down on Abbott’s executive orders by putting into law what he’s already done under his “emergency” orders and gives the federal government more power in Texas by mandating that businesses comply with any orders from the occupiers of the White House and their CDC. Think about longer shutdowns, government defining “essential” and “non-essential” businesses, prohibitions on gatherings, masking toddlers and double/triple masking yourself! If it becomes law, HB 3 actually makes it easier to sue a business!” |
