> travel to Texas without risk of arrest

This isn't some "non-extradition country without a treaty" scenario - "neener neener, if I don't step foot in your area you can't touch me." The United States does still have a functioning Constitution.

If Texas wants to arrest an employee of these organizations, they can simply issue a Texan arrest warrant and other States will be compelled to enforce it.

Can Texas compel other states to arrest abortion clinic workers?

Did those abortion clinic workers perform an abortion in Texas? Then yes, they can.

This website was providing services to the people of Texas, and Verisign provides services to the people of Texas as well.

yes, they provided services to Texas because someone in the extended family was in Texas and now they don't have an extra relative.

Has there been a single attempt at pressing this issue judicially, or is this just hypothetical? Common law legal systems are not based on "neener neener, gotcha!" technicalities, and are not computer systems.

So it's impossible to say what could happen until it actually happens? Then I think vacuum instability will destroy the Texas court.

Good luck with this theory. The site in question's domain was seized, they now have to fight to get it back.

I don't think there's a vacuum so much as a wealth of "I don't like what's happening!"

There's definitely a vacuum, it's in between the atoms of the judge and the court building and I think that vacuum is metastable and will annihilate both.
