For the 3rd time anti israeli boycott law struck down

texas joined other states in passing a law saying that if you boycotted israel you couldnt hold a state contract. they required you to sign a pledge that you werent pushing for an israeli boycott.

this is the third judge to strike these laws down. more than 2 dozen states have passed similar laws but hopefully they will all be struck down.

the first amendment gives you the right to boycott israel. period

I really don’t know what our elect officials are thinking on this one. This is 10th grade civics class stuff, and maybe even younger.

They’re appealing to their constitutents.

They can virtue signal on Israel and then double dip with a rant about “activist courts”.

What’s not to understand?

I wonder if it goes to SCOTUS how they’d rule

What part of Shall pass no law is unclear?
