So the Great state of Texas believes it could ignore the US Supreme Court and continue its defiance onto the US Government. The oath of office for Governor explicitly states to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States", if Governor Abbott os creating an issue that goes against the US Government in violation of the laws, therefore Governor Abbott could be charged for crimes against the US Government. So the political blunder has already been done, if Biden Federalize the National Guard, Biden is upholding his oath of office.
