Governor Abbott: When, in the Course of Human Events....
Governor Abbott writes that the federal government has "broken the compact" under which states agreed to loan power to a central government.
It has, as one person said, a definite "When, in the course of Human Events..." steel to it.I don't know if this invokes new action at all, as he just announces that he's already declared an invasion. He does seem to be threatening that his police and agents will act to defend Texas, and will ignore any federal statute which presumes to tell them they may not defend their own land. Declaring the state's power to defend itself to be supreme to any federal "law" is a big declaration. Will anything concrete flow from that? I don't know. Maybe this is just saber-rattling. Sometimes you do need to rattle the saber. Sometimes you even need to draw it out.The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration. Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters--one of which I delivered to him by hand--President Biden has ignored Texas's demand that he perform his constitutional duties. * President Biden has violated his oath to faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress. Instead of prosecuting immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border. * President Biden has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States. * By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas's border security infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points along this State's southern border-- bridges where nobody drowns--and into the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande. Under President Biden's lawless border policies, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed our southern border in just 3 years. That is more than the population of 33 different States in this country. This illegal refusal to protect the States has inflicted unprecedented harm on the People all across the United

States. James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and the other visionaries who wrote the U.S. Constitution foresaw that States should not be left to the mercy of a lawless president who does nothing to stop external threats like cartels smuggling millions of illegal immigrants across the border. That is why the Framers included both Article IV, sec. 4, which promises that the federal government "shall protect each [State] against invasion," and Article I, sec 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges "the States' sovereign interest in protecting their borders." Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387, 419 (2012) (Scalia, J., dissenting). The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV, sec. 4 has triggered Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, sec. 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary. The Texas National Guard, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and other Texas personnel are acting on that authority, as well as state law, to secure the Texas border. Greg Abbott

That's almost a certainty at this point. It remains to be seen if Texas will return the favor by arresting Feds for "trespassing" on Texas-owned property.
When Abbott sealed off Eagle Pass from the Feds, that was a DIRECT and PERSONAL insult to FJB. In his own twisted sense of "honor" he WILL be forced to respond with a heavy hand.

It is also obviously true.
The People's Rights are most concentrated at the level of our State legislatures. It is those State legislatures which ratify the Constitution, the only permission that the Federal government has to so much as exist. If the Federal government were to be removed, every bit of infrastructure erased, every one of its personnel rendered unto God for judgment, every trace of its laws erased, we would still be organized at our State level, for as long as we chose to do so.

I've been watching Abbott closely for months, and you may recall I have always defended him here, even when others harshly criticized him for not doing much. I say that to back up my belief that I understand his intentions here; the goal he is actually going for.
He is a highly intelligent strategist, an dhas spent the last 3 years setting this up. He knows very well that he (and Texas) does not have the resources to "win" any physical confrontation; BUT he also understands the politics of all this on a national level, which is why his buses have been so successful. I believe is he intentionally trying to provoke the Feds into a heavy handed physical intervention, perhaps even sending the US Army down to the border to take it over. He would do this if he believes the optics of using the Army to assist illegal immigration would be bad enough to finish off Biden's political career.

What was her prior judicial record? I ask because I don't know. Did she show signs of being squish?
Trump used the recommendation of the Federalist Society. What an idiot. Didn't he know that they'd either be wrong, or corrupt? I recall that it was a somewhat popular pick here... like a lot of other choices that he made for which people now say he was stupid.
Why do the people who want to bitch about Trump always expect him to be God? He's not omniscient.

It was only an injunction and so the lack of specificity was not unusual. But that said, in a case where it seems pretty clear (at least to the dissenters) the plaintiffs would clearly suffer demonstrable harm vis a vis the continued subversion of our immigration system, it's pretty inexcusable. How can you look at the border and deny an injunction where there is already years of material harm and deny it? That requires an explanation and looks like an arrogant, extra constitutional move if you don't. It looks like ACB and Roberts went with the latter and DGAF.

I think Texas recently passed a state law making arrest and detention of illegal border crossers mandatory, which was drafted to avoid being in conflict with the federal immigration laws (but I can't remember the specifics).
Posted by: LASue at January 24, 2024 06:22 PM (bLe0J)
Pretty sure that, per usual, Roberts assumed Abbott would comply while the DNC would not - and thus ruled in favor of the DNC to save face for the court while Barrett simply did whatever the boss told her to do.
Ain't it great ? Six of nine judges appointed by the GOP ... and we still can't get anything at the court.

My understanding is that the Judge granted the injunction because after a trial, the State would most probably win.
Texas needs to go to the Judge, and tell him we need you to finalize the case NOW. Have the trial NOW.

There's an aspect of this too, where Trump can sorta stay "above the fray" so to speak. Not to avoid the topics, but to avoid being the attack dog.
He has plenty of surrogates who can fill that role, including Kari and Vivek and hell, now I guess we gotta include Stand-up Greg.

At least on the Republican side the polls are showing that illegal immigration is the number 1 or 2 issue on the minds of most voters. I think Abbott relishes the position of trying to stop illegal immigration while Biden is doing everything he can to not do his job and flood the country.
Abbott has a fairly weak hand when arguing border security under the Constitution so why not highlight the problem is Biden isn't doing his Constitutional duty. Make Biden very publicly own it.

Nothing other than the aforementioned 25 mile easement that the Feds have granted themselves.

I'm not sure that's correct. The actual law requires the government to stop illegals. That was part of what was so heinous about the Senate's "comprehensive" bullshit. It specifically called for a certain number of illegals to be admitted.
At the moment, however, Biden is choosing to ignore the law. Moreover, he's ordered federal forces to specifically violate the law. The Constitution does not permit that. The courts have said that the Constitution permits the administration to do whatever it wants (provided Trump isn't President) but their say-so doesn't make it so. Time to point that out.

You may be trying to make an analogy, where there isn't an analogous situation.
In order for it to be parallel, the federal government would have to be violating federal law, ignoring its duties under the Constitution, and interfering in the state's attempts to do the Constitutional duty which the federal government had abandoned.
And it's been far too long since I studied the Civil War to say whether that was the case back then.

That's one of the fun facts - ther e is not much Federal Land in Texas, outside of a few national forests, parks, and grrasslands. And the Federal military bases. This is because Texas had title to all of it before they joined the US, and kept it.
That's what screwed up the other Western States, the Feds held title to the land before they became States, and never gave it up.

As far as the indian land is concerned, Gorsuch called out the fed on a broken promise/treaty. Most Oklahomans agree with the indians. And it's not like they took ownership of privately owned land. Most of it was about legal jurisdiction for tribal LEO's and prosecutors.

There have been a lot of cases over the years over border security and the SC has made it pretty clear, as does the Constitution, that the federal government is responsible for border security not the individual states. Arizona is the most recent high profile one I can remember. The problem we have is that Biden, like many Democrats before him, won't do his job and is arguably acting unconstitutionally himself.
The remedy for that is for Congress to impeach him which they won't or for us to vote him out. I didn't like an activist court when Democrats were running it and I don't want Republicans to do it either. I don't think the framers considered we would ever have such a lawless president or if we did then Congress would do its duty but here we are.
The case isn't over. We'll see if Abbott and Paxton can find a way to win this case but I'm not convinced they will.

🚨#BREAKING: At least 6 people found shot to death scattered at a remote desert
📌#ElMirage | #California
Currently an investigation is underway following the discovery of six people that were shot to death in a remote desert area in El Mirage, California. Multiple bloodied victims were found scattered about the ground with evidence markers and bullet casings surrounding them. Some bodies showed signs of burning. A dark-colored SUV, riddled with bullet holes and shattered windows, was on the scene, while a light-colored van faced the opposite direction, with unclear damage. No information about the victims' identities has been released.

@GovRonDeSantis
If the Constitution really made states powerless to defend themselves against an invasion, it wouldn’t have been ratified in the first place and Texas would have never joined the union when it did.
TX is upholding the law while Biden is flouting it.
FL will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets.

I didn't say not partisan. Activists courts go beyond partisanship to create law from the bench.

Oh, but they did. They never repudiated the DoI. They never said anything written in it was not now true or in effect. It had a singular purpose, but was also fresh in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. (Hence Jefferson's comment about the Tree of Liberty.)
They very much thought it might happen again. But, what they couldn't do anything about was the people themselves losing their love of Liberty and no longer being jealous of it.

The thing is there IS no federal statute. In fact, Federal law says Biden is supposed to agree with and support what Texas is doing. Biden is the one breaking the law here. Black letter law. He has exactly zero right to prevent Texas from enforcing federal laws that he chooses not to enforce.
