Lots of money in Texas politics to spend on attorneys suing the Biden administration that will also raise lots more money.

See the difference here is when a Trump judge rules against a Biden executive order they're just going to ignore that and do it anyways like they did for 8 years under Obama. And they're allowed to get away with that because no one pays attention.
You conveniently forget ....the number of times lower courts agreed with Obama, just to face SCOTUS, where the vote was 9-0 against.
The only thing about SCOTUS ...Roberts violated the Constitution. His job is to judge, not change or write legislation from Congress. His change of one sentence means his decision was Unconstitutional. It's called separation of powers for a reason. One of Trump's first acts should have been the congressional trial of Justice Roberts. Roberts would survived impeachment, but the message would have been very clear.

Most of the drop in CO2 emissions is because we are burning natural gas for electricity generation. This is due to low cost natural gas from fracking methods that Obama and Biden opposed.

the private landowners who were having their land taken via eminent domain for the wall?

Did you not just read the excerpt in the OP, plus the OP's own opinion on immigration and how a crackdown is good for Texas as a whole?
I asked a simple question: did Texas support private landowners’ fight against the federal government in their quest to seize private land at the border to build a physical wall? OP seemed to indicate they would.
Look, I can see you’re uneducated on this issue so I’ll try to help you out. Many Texans, including Trump supporters, didn’t want a wall on their land. That doesn’t mean they wanted open borders. That’s on obvious straw man. It’s just a fact that a wall isn’t an effective or necessary barrier in remote locations where crossings are rare. They work great in dense cities but can easily be crossed in the middle of nowhere. Technological solutions that alert agents to a crossing work better in those areas. You bought into the physical barrier type wall because it sounded nifty at rallies, but the idea of a coast to coast physical wall always represented typical federal government overreach, spending, and lack of foresight. People with land and ranches on the Rio had every reason to fight against this in the courts.

Texas and probably Louisiana will be the first Red States to fall.
Exactly the opposite.
Texas has a shite ton of people who shoot a lot and a land with a lot of resources. They're also probably the proudest state in the nation.
Louisiana, specifically south Louisiana is incredibly inhospitable geography with a very large percentage of population with all the skills to live off the land either agriculturally or hunting and fishing and the bounty to reap from. Sportsman's Paradise. We also have an incredibly nasty streak in us. LSU are technically the 'Fighting Tigers'. Not the animal. Go look up who the fighting tigers were. The state also controls the most important shipping lane into the heart of the United States. The breadbasket would never leave the house if the lane was plugged.

Good luck the new weapons of war are plausible deniability and prosecution discretion, and they are pretty good at it. If you (or Texas) haven't figured this out by now... good luck.
Wars are not fought with lines of men with muskets anymore. <------ (hint) The war is over.

In all fairness most of those landowners probably wanted the wall.
This actually does not seem to be the case. Lots of people at the border who do not support open borders nevertheless felt that the coast to coast physical barrier wall was simply a vanity project. Even the GOP representative from the district with the largest stretch of border was against it.

When Trump got hit by an Obama judge 5 minutes after signing every EO he was forced to wait until it was OK'd by the Supreme Court.
The celebrated double standard that always favors liberal progressive Democrats. They are able to do this because they control almost every aspect of communication media aka they determine every narrative.

Oh shut it, the democrats ran on border security and building a barrier.
It's only vanity or racist because OMB.
And they literally cited one fricking person with 64 acres that said they didn't want it.
Jesus christ, man.

Do you have any substance to add here? What in god’s name do Democrats have to do with this conversation?
I can find more links, can you provide links to all the private landowners with land along the Rio who supported the physical barrier wall? Why didn't the GOP rep from the district, in red as hell Texas, support the wall? Think maybe he understood his constituents?

Most of the Hispanic citizens wanted the wall to restore order. Douchebag
