Texas View: GOP seals border around Supreme Court vacancy
The GOP Senate leadership vows to block any Obama nominee to replace Justice Scalia after his death. A closed meeting signaled near unanimity to deny hearings and votes, with only two dissenting members. Several potential contenders paused. Brian Sandoval declined to join a liberal sacrifice, insisting on constitutionally nominated judges. This stance risks a short handed court through the session and beyond, affecting real cases.

Supreme Court to hear abortion regulation scrutiny in Texas
An analysis of Texas House Bill 2 reveals the stricter clinic rules, including admitting privileges and ASC standards, are argued to curb abortions while potentially reducing safety.
