Good for him. Take a stand against Biden and this Chinese puppet handlers.

I don't know the plot yet, other than 19 states seceding and declaring war, with a third-term President in office. Not sure it's based on current politics.

They'll piffle over the definition of invasion, but TX (and the rest of us) can see what's going on. I stand with Texas!

I agree, however they changed the definition of racism to suit their woke purposes, so I don't think we can rely on such things. They'll be happy to change it overnight to suit their agenda.

This will end when enough states take a stand.

This may get spicy

As with other examples through history, in the end this will depend on what the man with the gun decides to do.

Huh. Casar and Castro... Those sound like Hispanic names. Coincidence?

Unfortunately, SCOTUS made the correct, narrow call. It IS the purview of the feds to secure the border, not TX.

But they cant rule against legit federal law/powers just because they arent doing their jobs and enforcing those laws.

Somebody needs to sue them and get the SCOTUS to rule that the administration is failing to uphold the law as they should. Or congress needs to grow a pair and legislate it. But they are too weak sauce too.

The SCOTUS ruling this week only vacated the 5th Circuit's "Injunction Pending Appeal" issued at the end of December. The Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. Thus the SCOTUS ruling doesn't surprise me given what the justices have done with other "preliminary injunctions". Oral arguments in the 5th Circuit are set for the 8th of February, two weeks from now. This is far from over. I'm anticipating the 5th Circuit will back up Texas.

Regarding the President activating the Texas National Guard out from under Greg Abbott, at that point, they're Federalized and come under the Posse Comitatus Act . . . and are therefore prohibited from acting as any form of law enforcement against U.S. Citizens and Residents. This was rigorously emphasized to me repeatedly during my two decade career in the U.S. Army. National Guard under state (Governor) control do not fall under the Posse Comitatus Act. That is why U.S. troops and National Guard mix were used after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Federal troops could be used for humanitarian aid and rescue but NOT for any law enforcement. The National Guard troops . . . including those borrowed from neighboring states . . . could be, provided they weren't federalized and remained under Louisiana Governor command/control.

I think the real reason Governor Abbott is in a wheelchair is that his balls are so big that he can no longer stand. He is an amazing man - God bless him.
