The issues in Texas have much greater consequence than a mere state’s rights issue. It is a question of national legitimacy. Is the Constitution the legal and rightful expression of American government or is America now simply a mass of lawless land? Is the president a dictator who can ignore the laws passed by congress, invite thousands of terrorists and foreign armies in without consequence, or is he bound by the laws as much as the states and the people? When will the people punish him for this lawlessness?
I have resigned myself to accept that Abbott will back down before it reaches the point of either confronting federal troops or him being arrested by the federal regime. If he surprises me and doesn’t, then I expect the state Republican Party to force him out or into compliance with the regime. Regardless, there are no politicians or judges coming to save us.
The Constitution stands here on the brink of collapse.
The Constitution stands here on the shoulders of We the People. ........ Where it Rightfully Belongs.
Just Decide: "Liberty or Death", shouldn't be too hard, since We are All Dead Men Walking Anyway. Is Dying in our beds, a regretable coward's death, Such a blessing ???
When someone is committing an act that is obviously dangerous to others and is knowingly and obviously violating existing laws, no legitimate law enforcement first conducts an investigation while the individual(s) continue committing the act before stopping him and the damage he is causing and charging him with a crime. But that is exactly what has been done with both Mayorkas and Biden regarding ignoring of established immigration laws and allowing this invasion of unvetted illegals into the land, and for what nefarious purpose? It is treason. In fact, there is treason shot throughout that worthless occupant in the WH's administration. The glacial-like movement of congress simply tells me that they don't want to do anything about it. Maybe the alcohol, drugs, and sex parties take up too much of their time! The DOJ is neck deep in the treason themselves and now the motives of SCOTUS is in question. Every institution is corrupt. I have reached the conclusion that a full collapse may be the only way to rid ourselves of these traitors, allowing us to coalesce in like-minded groups, neighborhoods, and communities and do whats required to survive the chaos that follows. Maybe our Grandchildren can rebuild something we would be proud of.
Too thoroughly corrupt to save. Trump, in this case, is a mere distraction from the purpose we should be pursuing. Too many think he is the answer and he might be an answer, but not "the" answer, that will always reside with the people.
The lightbulb goes off; I'm in Texas as well and did notice that absolutely f-all happened at the border until Paxton escaped the muck. Abbott whom we liked at first was always a step behind DeSantis in covid, and while the bus stuff to blue areas has been great for publicity, he has always been feeble or enabling on the border. But got it: "Governor Paxton" makes a move. We will see how our version of Byzantine politics play out, but more power to him and God let other states join in as well.
Texas, is leading the way right now with these states supporting the cause Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Virginia and Montana & others may join ( I have rattled cages here in Idaho to get on it) Anyhow if the line is held the feds will have to back down. If they are stupid enough not to.. well then all bets are off.
Abbott will need to be backed up so hard that he can't back down. Next step round up and deport .
"The Constitution, for all of its flaws, shields the people from the government and serves as a limitation on the powers of the government. It stands in the way of the power of government and as such has been attacked by government officials from the day it was presented to the people."
That's the version you get in modern history textbooks, but that definitely isn't the way it was seen in 1787, by people such as Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Mason, all trained and experienced attorneys at law - who opposed the Federalist Constitution of 1787, created by a convention whose proceedings were closed to the people and the written record of which was kept secret until 1842, some 53 years after that convention ended. The original ambit was supposed to be limited to proposing amendments to the original Constitution of 1777, the Articles of Confederation - but the Federalists, amongst them John Adams. of the notorious Alien and Sedition Acts (which made it a criminal offense to criticize the government or its officials), took over and perpetrated a coup-d'etat against the original government which had created a confederation of independent republics - the States. The Federalists, today, are known as the Uniparty, and they created the Administrative and later, the National Security States in furtherance of their aims. Henry, Jefferson, and Mason, amongst others, were known as the Antifederalists, and it was they who put forth the Bill of Rights, intended to be a limitation on the consolidated and centralized government created by the Federalist Constitution of 1787. The Tenth Amendment, to wit: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" was intended to limit the Supremacy Clause - "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
The intent behind the Tenth Amendment was set out in the very prescient Antifederalist Paper #9, which predicted the situation today, albeit 236 years prior to the present day: “We have frequently endeavored to effect in our respective states, the happy discrimination which pervades this system; but finding we could not bring the states into it individually, we have determined … and have taken pains to leave the legislature of each free and independent state, as they now call themselves, in such a situation that they will eventually be absorbed by our grand continental vortex, or dwindle into petty corporations, and have power over little else than yoaking hogs or determining the width of cart wheels. But (aware that an intention to annihilate state legislatures, would be objected to our favorite scheme) we have made their existence (as a board of electors) necessary to ours. This furnishes us and our advocates with a fine answer to any clamors that may be raised on this subject. We have so interwoven continental and state legislatures that they cannot exist separately; whereas we in truth only leave them the power of electing us, for what can a provincial legislature do when we possess the exclusive regulation of external and internal commerce, excise, duties, imposts, post-offices and roads; when we and we alone, have the power to wage war, make peace, coin money (if we can get bullion) if not, borrow money, organize the militia and call them forth to execute our decrees, and crush insurrections assisted by a noble body of veterans subject to our nod, which we have the power of raising and keeping even in the time of peace. What have we to fear from state legislatures or even from states, when we are armed with such powers, with a president at our head? (A name we thought proper to adopt in conformity to the prejudices of a silly people who are so foolishly fond of a Republican government, that we were obliged to accommodate in names and forms to them, in order more effectually to secure the substance of our proposed plan; but we all know that Cromwell was a King, with the title of Protector). I repeat it, what have we to fear armed with such powers, with a president at our head who is captain- -general of the army, navy and militia of the United States, who can make and unmake treaties, appoint and commission ambassadors and other ministers, who can grant or refuse reprieves or pardons, who can make judges of the supreme and other continental courts-in short, who will be the source, the fountain of honor, profit and power, whose influence like the rays of the sun, will diffuse itself far and wide, will exhale all democratical vapors and break the clouds of popular insurrection? But again gentlemen, our judicial power is a strong work, a masked battery, few people see the guns we can and will ere long play off from it. For the judicial power embraces every question which can arise in law or equity, under this constitution and under the laws of “the United States” (which laws will be, you know, the supreme laws of the land). This power extends to all cases, affecting ambassadors or other public ministers, “… and between a State or the citizens thereof, and foreign States, citizens or subjects.”
Now, can a question arise in the colonial courts, which the ingenuity or sophistry of an able lawyer may not bring within one or other of the above cases? Certainly not. Then our court will have original or appellate jurisdiction in all cases-and if so, how fallen are state judicatures-and must not every provincial law yield to our supreme fiat? Our constitution answers yes. . . . And finally we shall entrench ourselves so as to laugh at the cabals of the commonalty. A few regiments will do at first; it must be spread abroad that they are absolutely necessary to defend the frontiers. Now a regiment and then a legion must be added quietly; by and by a frigate or two must be built, still taking care to intimate that they are essential to the support of our revenue laws and to prevent smuggling. We have said nothing about a bill of rights, for we viewed it as an eternal clog upon our designs, as a lock chain to the wheels of government-though, by the way, as we have not insisted on rotation in our offices, the simile of a wheel is ill. We have for some time considered the freedom of the press as a great evil-it spreads information, and begets a licentiousness in the people which needs the rein more than the spur; besides, a daring printer may expose the plans of government and lessen the consequence of our president and senate-for these and many other reasons we have said nothing with respect to the “right of the people to speak and publish their sentiments” or about their “palladiums of liberty” and such stuff. We do not much like that sturdy privilege of the people-the right to demand the writ of habeas corpus. We have therefore reserved the power of refusing it in cases of rebellion, and you know we are the judges of what is rebellion…. Our friends we find have been assiduous in representing our federal calamities, until at length the people at large-frightened by the gloomy picture on one side, and allured by the prophecies of some of our fanciful and visionary adherents on the other-are ready to accept and confirm our proposed government without the delay or forms of examination–which was the more to be wished, as they are wholly unfit to investigate the principles or pronounce on the merit of so exquisite a system.” https://thefederalistpapers.org/antifederalist-paper-9/
A lot of signaling and posturing around this. I'm less interested in what the "government" does and more interested in how this chapter shapes both the narrative of the occupiers and the will of the people.
I don't expect the Constitution to reanimate from its zombie status over this issue, but in these strange days you never know what might set other things in motion.
I grew up in a small agricultural/river town 1200 miles from the "border". My hometown no longer exists in any recognizable form. It hasn't for nearly 20 years.
My two other adopted home states are also gone, having been absorbed by the same immigration, anarcho-tyranny, and rot of the progressive death cult under the yoke of globohomo economic and cultural strip-mining.
I now live as a refugee inside my own former nation. A political dissident and social throwback to all those things that conservatives and republicans and supposed Christians were fighting for my whole life but managed to lose.
All of that informs my rather lukewarm stance on this kind of lawfare meets populism.
If the Battle of Razorwire Ridge wakes up more people to the fact that it is their own will and courage that will be called upon, regardless of what the constitutional lawyers work out with the donor class, to carve out any kind of future that preserves our nation and people, then I look forward to what comes next.
Bu if this spawns more rotting fedgov budgetary shenanigans and Orwellian "common sense immigration reform" and "nation of immigrants" nonsense, I will be disappointed but not at all surprised.
The demographics and economic decay are largely baked in now, but casting off fedgov is a pretty big win.
"The king can do no wrong, for it is the king who makes the laws." The people who made our original Revolution were acting against the King and against his laws - but they were acting according to their common set of guiding principles, eventually set out in the Declaration of Independence, a revolutionary document for its time - and other documents, such as Thomas Paine's "The American Crisis" (see https://www.ushistory.org/paine/crisis/c-01.htm). The laws of the current day are a significant departure from those guiding principles. and have more in common with that Government which our founders opposed. If the people are thus constrained by present laws and regulations, the results which those laws and regulations are designed to create will come into being - and those results oppose the original guiding principles of what we know of as our country. High school textbook "patriotism" is little more than poisonous propaganda designed to cement the system as presently constituted in place - we have to go back to the original words...
Yes, that is a problem. The tyranny we endure is made possible by our goodwill and faith in the system, our desire for law and order, and reverence for the founding documents and structures of the Republic.
But that's also what anarcho-tyranny needs. The side with the boot on their face to submit to the same legal system and structures that the tyranny uses to control and abuse them.
The rule of law, including our highest document, only exists insofar as it facilitates the destruction of Heritage America, advances the causes of globocap etc., and propagates the ratcheting humiliation and disenfranchisement of any emergent opposition.
Losing the culture war has inculcated a great faith in the mythological aspects of both our legal and structural founding and the progressive moral hegemony. Hammer and anvil.
I do agree there is a process that needs to unfold in hearts and minds. I hope whatever the people need to feel finds its way through that eye of the needle.
"If (You/Me/We) want the words of the Constitution to mean something, you are going to have to put the cost of their violation at the top of your priority list."

BTW, 17 states—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming—have stepped up at spme point to support Texas’ efforts and deployed personnel and resources to secure the border in President Biden’s Treason.
Another light bulb: one commentator notes that DAVOS doubled down on no oil by 2030. This commenter reckoned that corporate America being what it is wore the clothing of DEI and ESG to go along to get along, but it's backfired with the WEF deciding to take out Big Oil anyway. So, with oil itself under threat, the word has gone out to Abbott to start fight back, for real because they aren't going to 'buy' their way into being left alone. And, discussion of State Miltias will likely begin in earnest, with money and real backing.
A couple of reporters on the right went down to the border and one of the creatures they saw crossing was an angry-looking, middle aged man, obviously from some muslim country. They approached him, and all he said was, "You'll hear about me soon." These two checked around and found out that he was from Azerbaijan, and had just been released from prison there where he had served twelve years for bomb-making. We can all make of that what we will, but I am truly appalled at the literal 'human' garbage flooding into what was once a White, free, safe, and prosperous nation.
As always, T.L. you nail it on the head! Whether it is an Abbott false flag or the real deal, I remain in AWE of Texas! Thank and Praise God, someone FINALLY stood up and said no more!! I have no doubt that Texans will heed the call to defend the state against overreaching terrorism and illegals. No politician or judge will save any of us; that means we only have each other.
