    More I learn about the vigilante enforcement mechanism in the Texas abortion law, the more it reminds me of the White Citizens Council model from the Civil Rights era. The idea is to deploy activists to achieve via harassment and the threat of terrorism what government can't do.

        I think they're going to do the same thing with voting rights, via "empowering" poll watchers.

        Xactly. It's empowering the lynch mob and night riders.

        It feels like a trend across the party, codified now. Jan 6. The rogue Afghan missions. (No statutes obvs.) FL STG and run down protestor laws.

        It’s chillingly similar to the Fugitive Slave Act.

        The “White Citizens Counsel” moniker still fits too, so they don’t even have to make new t-shirts.
