Good, I was wrong about Perry. Keep up the good work Perry. Now they’ve defunded Planned Parenthood.
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.
Indeed!
In fairness, he told them they would have to abide by our election laws governing poll watchers, or he would arrest them.
As much as some of us might LIKE for him to have told the varmints 'keep OUT!'...he didn't :-)
Thank you SO much for this. I was well and truly needing some good news. Planned Parenthood is like a vampire with its dental daggars in your throat. Finally found a court (and a state) that would knock their teeth out.
Since PP funding is not written into the Constitution, only a law could have forced the government to pay them, so a law can be rescinded. What’s the problem with that? If the fed wants to fund PP, let them (until real Repubs take power and vote it out!). How does the law force states to fund them?
Someone has finally put a statewide stop to this horror. Congratulations Texas!
And follow up on keeping those UN nazis at bay.
I was happy to read this too!
I don’t care what anyone says, I like Rick Perry. :)
This is the opposite result from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling striking down an identical law in Indiana. This matter is headed for the Supreme Court.
You beat me to it. Texas can defund PP, but Indiana can’t? I agree, headed to the SC. God help us there with people like the traitorous Judge Roberts on the court.
The way I read it, Texas has won, there will be no appeal. What Indiana does is seperate.
Confusion here!
If the state cuts off state money to fund abortion clinics, how can the federal government insist that the state spend state money on an activity it doesn’t want to pay for?
planned abortionhood should receive absolutely no money from any state or federal agency, period.
they are placing millions of dollars of ads to fight Romney and Republicans in this election. they are totally partisan.
why any court should even have to “rule” on something so transparent is ridiculous.
The Constitution was written for the common people, not for “constitutional scholars” which of course barry obama is supposed to claim.
I really think that if a person takes an oath to the Constitution he/she should be accountable for it. Ignorance is no excuse.
politicians are supposed to take an oath also. that eliminates socialists, communists and fascists and islamist fundamentalists.
voting is a privilege and not a right. if you have no skin in the game, you have no right to vote. a Constitutional test would be appropriate.
You cannot take an oath to the Constitution if you have not read it and do not understand it.
I want more than just an ID card to prove that you have the privilege to vote. that’s the way the Founding Fathers set it up, and they fought for their freedom and they were statesman.
No one has a right to vote. It is a privilege that you pay for because you contribute.
blessings, bobo
Thank God for Governor Perry!
and thank God for the Justices that actually followed the Constitution!
I am moving to Texas.
Blessings, bobo
It can insist all it wants, and the Fifth Circuit can tell Obama to stuff it! LOL!
Certainly PP can petition the USSC for cert on the Texas case on the basis of a conflict between the circuits on this issue. Ultimately the supremes will have to decide the issue.
Not the right, no, but the prerogative. Governments do not have rights.
That being said, duh!
You could be right, I’m no expert on these matters.
“How does the law force states to fund them”
It doesn’t. People make and courts accept false arguments all the time.
