Adams is among two dozen people and groups suing Governor Greg Abbott, declaring his executive orders unconstitutional. "Let me make something real clear, nobody loves Governor Greg Abbott more than I do," Adams said Friday. “The 1975 disaster declaration act is unconstitutional, we believe, to the extent that it does allow him to suspend laws. The constitution makes very clear that only legislature can suspend laws,” Woodfill said. The 45-year-old law gives broad powers to the Governor of Texas to supersede and suspend laws in emergency situations.
