The Texas National Guard has seized control of Eagle Pass / Update; Texas troopers have begun arresting illegals

[Drinkthekoolaid]

It’s basically the same language and legal basis for the southern states seceding from the union starting with South Carolina. A breach of contract basically between state and federal government.

That's why I'm so fascinated by this approach. It has similarities to 1860. The south started following a very similar legal route to just stop following the federal government.

The south no longer wanted to participate in the political process, presidential candidates were taken off ballots, there was major political disenfranchisement, the country was reaching the point in a marriage of irreconcilable differences. Sound familiar? It's rather telling that even Hollyweird has caught on and has already filmed and is releasing a new "fictional" civil war movie.

Everything old is new again?

Texas needs to seize control of DC.

FL has promised to stand with Texas. OK, AL has also.

I think TN would go with TX.

I fuckin hope so at least.

 

[whatwasithinking]

That's the tricky part.
The Fed Govt is NOT a party to that compact.

How so? Any contract, even implied, requires two parties to fulfill their obligations.

Oh FFS. Now I have to recaption a metric crap-ton of moldy old Boog memes, lol.

I also think TX should warn the feds of large scale tax resistance from the state.

lol … the “fed” had only one job, so as far Texas goes, batter up! The Federal Government’s only constitutional role is to secure our border. One guess as to how that is going.

"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."

Abbott's invocation puts all of those items on the table.

"Unless actually invaded" is his out.

"Unless actually invaded" is his out.

Need context. Define who "his" is?

Abbot.

If the feds complain his actions violate the listed constitutional prohibition on states acting, he can cite the "except during an actual invasion" exception.

Abbot need to place some no Swimming Signs up in the River ..

no duty to protect swimmers ... no lifeguards ..

the BP can go get a boat and float up and down the river if they want to ..

just return the non swimmers to the correct side .. ..

That reads like Abbott just had his Andrew Jackson moment.

And a Thomas Jefferson moment.

This could be his Sam Houston moment.

It could lead to a P. G. T. Beauregard moment.


God Bless Texas

The feds kept pushing and pushing as always. It appears they've finally pushed a state that isn't having it and now other states are rallying around in support.

Apparently Biden never met a Texan or saw these. The Biden administration may have bitten off more than they can chew and are now backed into a corner where their options to navigate out of this and save face are limited.

"We just let a TERRORIST cross the U.S. border, and they're laughing at us" | Redacted News​

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from countries all over the world are pouring across the US southern border everyday... thousands of Chinese nationals were captured on camera last night at the Darien Gap by Investigative Journalist Michael Yon who says tens of thousands of Chinese are passing through the Gap on their way into the United States.

This is not the USA in 1860.

This is the Soviet Union in 1989.

This is the Soviet Union in 1989.

Time will tell. The bigger they are the harder they fall, all empires collapse in due time.

I tend to think Romes downfall would have happened much more suddenly and dramatically had they had the internet, instant communication, nearly instant transportation, electronic banking, etc. the only reason Rome took so long to collapse was due to how long everything took.

The Soviet Union broke up very quickly and suddenly. The Balkans " balkanized" quickly. There are decent examples where similar events have played out to use as a case study on what might happen.
