    | There's a saying in Texas: "Don't squat with your spurs on." Doing
    | things thoughtlessly can be painful. Abbott should get praise for
    | taking the initiative to use the military to deal with the southern
    | border crisis. But by treating it as an election-year political
    | stunt rather than a serious operation, he's undermining his own
    | policy. Morale is plummeting among the men, and the media, which can
    | hardly contain its glee as things fall apart, circles like vultures
    | overhead.

    Will John Cornyn and Ted Cruz vote to impeach Joe Biden and Kamala
    Harris?
