Ah, the bridge jumping argument. What about if someone takes a slug at you when you’ve done nothing wrong? Or challenges your HN comment? You respond. No, Texas has no such law, and that’s a shame. If Texas had, it might have prevented this

And what does the Texas Legislature believe about Texas’s Democratic voters? Do tell.
