Does the Heartbeat Act violate the Texas Constitution?

David Coale Season 2 Episode 3

Building on an insightful op-ed in today's Boston Globe about the Supreme Court's 1981 Grendel's Den case, this episode considers whether the Heartbeat Act's delegation of enforcement authority to millions of private citizens may violate the Texas Constitution's separation-of-powers clause -- a clause that does not appear in the U.S. Constitution.
