Germany had Denazification. We never had Deconfederatization. Imagine how fucked up Germany would be today if they had allowed the Nazi half of the populace to convince themselves that they were the good guys. Pro-Nazi "Lost Cause" mythology, Nazi flags on every lawn, Nazi statues on every corner...

Governor called extra session to ban voting as much as possible.
Democrats left town.

Other Abbott achievements:
-On May 18, 2021, Abbott signed into law legislation that prohibits abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected, effectively banning most abortions in the state
-In November 2015, Abbott announced that Texas would refuse Syrian refugees following the Paris terrorist attack that occurred earlier that month.
-Abbott pressed for a purge of nearly 100,000 registered voters from Texas voter rolls. Texas officials initially claimed that the voters to be purged were not American citizens. The purge was canceled in April 2018 after voting rights groups challenged the proposed purge, and officials at the Office of the Texas Secretary of State publicly admitted that tens of thousands of legitimate voters (naturalized citizens) were wrongly flagged for removal.
-In 2014, Abbott defended Texas' ban on same-sex marriage, which was ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.
-February 2021 North American ice storm
On February 16, as a guest on Hannity, Abbott stated, "This shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America ... Our wind and our solar got shut down, and they were collectively more than 10 percent of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis. ... It just shows that fossil fuel is necessary."
-God does not seem to care about Catholics
On July 14, 1984, Abbott was jogging when a tree fell on his back and crushed his spine.

This seems to invade on right to privacy. Except, we don't have one.

The Right of Privacy
The Issue: Does the Constitution protect the right of privacy? If so, what aspects of privacy receive protection?
