Texas Supreme Court Backs Legislature's Autonomy, Blocks Governor's Bid to Remove Rep. Wu

The Supreme Court of Texas refused Governor Abbott's request to remove House Democratic leader Gene Wu over a 2025 quorum break, emphasizing the Legislature's internal power to discipline its members. This ruling strengthens the principle of separation of powers, affirming legislative autonomy against executive overreach. It suggests future challenges to remove lawmakers for similar actions must come from within the legislative process, not through the courts.
