Abbott thinks it be a Political Blunder on Biden

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.

then he can be the first on arrested for violating the SCOTUS decision. They ruled that the BP can have access to the border... and do whatever they need to. They didn't say that Texas can't put it's razor wire fence a few miles (like 25 I believe) inland from the border.

They could say well we put out cannons, etc. and they failed to prohibit them.
