> travel to Texas without risk of arrest
This isn't some "non-extradition country without a treaty" scenario - "neener neener, if I don't step foot in your area you can't touch me." The United States does still have a functioning Constitution.
If Texas wants to arrest an employee of these organizations, they can simply issue a Texan arrest warrant and other States will be compelled to enforce it.

- 15155 3mo agoDid those abortion clinic workers perform an abortion in Texas? Then yes, they can. This website was providing services to the people of Texas, and Verisign provides services to the people of Texas as well.

- 15155 3mo agoGood luck with this theory. The site in question's domain was seized, they now have to fight to get it back. I don't think there's a vacuum so much as a wealth of "I don't like what's happening!"
- inigyou 3mo agoThere's definitely a vacuum, it's in between the atoms of the judge and the court building and I think that vacuum is metastable and will annihilate both.
