On Wednesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott warned that local authorities that try to defy his executive order barring government mask mandates will be taken to court.

Abbott explained on Twitter what would happen to those who ignore the order and institute mandates.

�Any school district, public university, or local government official that decides to defy GA-38�which prohibits gov�t entities from mandating masks�will be taken to court. The path forward relies on personal responsibility�not government mandates,� Abbott wrote.

In a press release statement, Gov. Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton made clear that they are �Aligned in Defense of Executive Order Prohibiting Mask Mandates.�-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I do not want court involvement until arrests are made on individuals who violate a state law by attempting to enforce this madness.

WASHINGTON � President Joe Biden says the White House is �checking� on whether he has the power to intervene in states like Texas where Republican leaders have banned mask mandates.

Asked whether he has the power to step in, Biden responded: �I don�t believe that I do thus far. We�re checking that.�

No, you don't, Biden.
