Texas is not known as a bastion of civil rights.


Due process is not civil rights, it's constitutional rights and it applies equally to everyone everywhere in the US, including illegal aliens!


Anyone remember why they were so desperate so leave Mexico to go independent and get annexed by the US?


Texas: the only US state that seceded twice to preserve slavery.


Depends on the civil rights in question. Champion of some, not so much on others.


Wait until minorities start open carrying lots of guns.

That's how California wound up with gun control under Saint Reagan (hack ... spit).


You know that Reagan hasn't been governor there in like...50 years right?

If the democratic trifecta that has run the state for the past few decades actually cared more about civil rights than scary guns, they would repeal the law.


My point was that Republicans are hypocritical and will happily throw "core" beliefs down the drain if "those nasty other people" start taking advantage of them.

I lived in Western Pennsylvania during Reagan's terms of office--I assure you that my beefs with his governance are WAY more substantive than a stupid issue like gun control.
