Re: hurdles debaters face when interacting with the general public
Doesn't help me at all because I know that coercion is coercion regardless of the particular outcome desired. The exercise of an unqualified political power conferred on a politician through the constitution either of the country or the state is not a crime provided the outcome is not illegal. Putting political pressure on an elected official to resign is not an outcome that is illegal, period.
There're many differences.
To start though, the US president wasn't subject to the particular Texas laws we're discussing.
In the US, states can have laws that only apply inside of those states.
The Texas laws we're discussing are those kinds of laws.
I hope that helps you get one of the main differences.
