They are closing the bridges between Louisiana and Texas starting noon Monday. This stuff is getting serious.
 
That’s an interesting decision, seeing as Louisiana has a lockdown in place and Texas doesn’t.

Does there happen to be a link for this story?

I don't really understand the logistics of how the police are going to enforce a 14-day self-quarantine for travelers exactly. Either they quarantine you or they do not.

Won't work. I lived on that border for almost three decades, and I could get in and out of those states with the police having no idea of all the what ways and this ways of doing it.

This is going to be fantastic courtroom stuff. The commerce clause is more or less up for grabs.

And they both have weird churches. It's not like you're safer in Texas.

Aside from having 1000 people smashed together in a church in Louisiana during a pandemic? Nothing.

I just think if Texas was serious about slowing the spread of the virus, they might institute some lockdown measures of their own.

It doesn't count if a native Texan has it.
 
It’s official: Republicans have a border fetish. You don’t need to fix your own issues if you just close your borders. It’s the solution to all life’s problems.

Until you run out of people to blame.

And then you screech that it's all Obama's fault anyway.

Or that it is Oklahoma's fault, the Texans' final line of defense.
