#Texas Officials Prepare Torrent Of Lawsuits Against #Biden's Expected Regulation Tsunami

[#TexasPolitics365] 

As Joe Biden takes over as president today, he has big plans for America. 

But Texas is almost certain to fight him every step of the way, reports the San Antonio Express-News. 

The state is about to be back on the front lines battling against the federal government, a long tradition for its Republican leaders, from former Gov. Rick Perry to Gov. Greg Abbott — who as the state’s attorney general famously said, “I go into the office, I sue the federal government and I go home.”

Abbott is likely to follow in his footsteps with this new Democrat president, preparing a blizzard of lawsuits against the expected tsunami of new Biden administration regulations and Federal mandates. This weekend, he tweeted: 

"Texas will take action whenever the federal government encroaches on state's rights, or interferes with constitutionally rights, or private property rights or the right to earn a living."

The paper notes the fight for National Healthcare mandates, and the incoming Biden administration's expected championing of green energy and illegal alien's rights will be heavily contested, and not just by the Abbott administration.

The conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation — which filed the Obamacare challenge that Paxton joined and is now before the Supreme Court — is gearing up to start grinding out challenges to a slew of White House priorities regarding immigration, energy and taxes.
