EU resident wondering how the US legislative process works. For example the recent Texas abortion law, in the hypothetical situation that the majority of Texans don’t agree with the new law, what recourse do they have? What would the possibilities for repealing this law look like?

This Texas law would still have to go thru the US Supreme Court to be decided under the laws merit. What everyone is freaking about is that the US Supreme Court allowed the Texas law to pass but it never looked at the law itself. The people who filed against the Texas law to the US Supreme Court, did not prove their case to stop the law and they had no standing with the case because the law has been held up in court all this time.
Now that the law has passed they (democrats) can file against the law for being unconstitutional.
Smh. Everyone here is losing their crap because they don’t seem to understand or want to know how the legal system work.
So to answer the OP’s original question; the primary option to oppose laws is to bring the law to the highest court in the land. Second option is to have the lawmakers repeal the law with a new set of politicians after a scheduled election
