It has been another can-you-top-this day in Texas -- in this case, a Texas Supreme Court decision that upheld Governor Greg Abbott's order forbidding just about any organization in Texas from imposing a mask mandate. No school, institution, company, grocery store, cigar store, or shootin' match in the sunstruck state can keep out a knucklehead too contrary to put on a mask.
The Court had approved Abbott's decision once already. Then a judge in Bexar County, home to San Antonio and the Alamo, upheld a ban of the ban; that is, the judge said it's okay for schools to require kids and grownups to wear masks.
Yesterday, the Court said, “The status quo, for many months, has been gubernatorial oversight of such decisions at both the state and local levels.”
I'd rather see the governor's desk occupied by a longhorn steer than by Greg Abbott. A steer knows to get out of the rain if there's a roof nearby. In a thunderstorm, the governor and his justices would probably opt to take a swim, and expect everybody else to join them.
