"Legal Experts Praise Texas Governor's Border Defense Amid National Crisis"

Legal experts support Texas Governor Greg Abbott's decision to continue installing razor wire along the border, asserting that the state is within its constitutional rights. The Supreme Court's recent order allows Texas to keep building the razor-wire fence despite federal government opposition. The dispute raises questions about Texas' constitutional authority to defend itself and its invocation of Article 1, Section 10, regarding self-defense from an "invasion." The matter may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, with potential implications for state sovereignty in addressing illegal immigration.

Controversy Surrounds Approval of First Religious Charter School in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has approved the nation's first religious charter school, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which would offer online, Roman Catholic instruction funded by taxpayers. The decision is expected to face a legal battle over whether taxpayer dollars can directly fund religious schools. The approval comes amid a broader conservative push to allow taxpayer dollars to go toward religious schools, including in the form of universal school vouchers. The move has been bolstered by recent rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court, which has increasingly signaled its support for directing taxpayer money to religious schools.
