“if a person takes an oath to the Constitution he/she should be accountable”
There’s an old book called “Lone Star Planet” about a Texas-like society where citizens are legally allowed to assassinate government officials who violate their rights. They must simply show cause in court afterwards. I think it played off a suggestion by H.L. Mencken.
thanks, i will look that up!
Blessings, bobo
They can enter the state, they just cannot get within 100 feet of a polling place.
Good to see that some judges remember that laws are made by the legislature. By what penubra did the other courts stop the defunding of Sanger’s Eugenics Centers?
Premeditated Butcherhood will surely appeal. What do ye five Catholics on the SCOTUS rule? Or will the statists place state above Church again?
If I didn't live in Utah, I'd most definitely live in Texas!
“Texas is looking like a great place to live.. They also threatened to arrest U.N. election monitors if they dare enter the State. Simply AWESOME.”
Good people are welcome anytime. If you are an Austin-thinking person, no. Too many ex CA freaks pollute our state capital.
Was gone for 24 years and couldnt wait to get back, and will never leave now.
Texas also comes across to me as another southern-state-type culture that I love, where boys are raised to be gentlemen and girls are raised to be ladies.
What part of Texas has the best, no-windy weather?
When we were trying to pass our own constitution amendment defining marriage, Governor Perry told a sneering homosexual contingent something like,"if you don't like the marriage laws of this state, move somewhere else." He shot up a few notches in my book with that statement.
I think that was a 2-1 and may be heard en banc. If so, especially given the 5th circuit ruling, it may be reversed.
Isn’t it common sense that the legislature which writes the budget can just not spend money on something if they so decide?
I wasn’t born in Texas but I got there as fast as I could.
Try East. Much more forested; the pines and rolling country help keep down the wind. And not so dry and hot, either.
I would think they could get specific right down to the penny and what is funded and what isn’t.
Surely you jest? Best weather in Texas? If we had weather like California, this state would look like India. Or maybe even SoCal. West - hot, dry, and windy. South - hot, humid, and windy. North - hot and windy. East - hot and humid, although today was splendid. Low of 35 and high of 57. June, July, and August is what keeps Texas from looking like Pahkistan.
There’s gotta be a place in Texas where it’s not humid or windy.
So long as he keeps gay marriage out, obamacare out and works towards the elimination of abortion in Texas, and keeps Planned Parenthood out he’ll have my support. We don’t want that crap here in Texas. Let the other 49 have theirs. Leave us out.
Agreed and AMEN

I know what you mean and I agree 97.4%. Except that real rights like life and liberty are not given to free people by an elected fellow citizen and lawmakers can’t take them away. They were given by a higher power then SCOTUS or any other court.
