The beginning of a constitutional crisis?

"'The last time that I'm aware of that this kind of defiance actually happened was resistance to desegregation orders,' after Brown v. Board of Education, Rave said. 'The Supreme Court didn't take it kindly and issued a unanimous decision in Cooper v. Aaron explaining that states need to follow its constitutional rulings.'"

No, no Constitutional crisis here.

Well first, let's call out the headline for being completely, and utterly, false.

merely vacated an order preventing the US from interfering in TX fencing.

That doesn't mean the US has to interfere, or that TX can't continue its fencing.

And, should Texas try to physically clash with US agents, there are plenty of legal--constitutional--avenues to address such a conflict.

This article is sensational and does a disservice to the public.
