In fairness, the Duties of his Office do require that he go through the motions of the administrative dance before the SHTF.
I was talking to one of my daughters about this today, and the only thing that I could come up with when she asked "Why Texas?", was the feds were taking the little-tough-man approach. That's the one where the little guy with a chip on his shoulder shows up and just arbitrarily cold-cocks the biggest guy he sees to prove to everybody how macho he is.
If Texas fights and fails, its doubtful that any other State would even make the slightest attempt to stop them again.
Good for him! Most folks wouldn’t have understood, “Molon Labe.”
My point was simply that BLM was not intruding into the state of Texas, one of the few if not only states with no BLM land. The argument is over where the boundary of TX is.
I don’t necessarily agree with the BLM.
BTW, what moron came up with a boundary that is inevitably going to move over time. I can understand it in the 19th century, but not today.
You can tell that Abbot is running for reelection. Too bad we couldn’t dump him in the primary.
Abbot is the attorney general. He is running for governor, not to get reelected to the AG position.
And where is Windy Davis?
Bet she is on the side of the feds.
If I was Abbot, I would have someone keep an eye on her.
True BLM doesn’t own any land in Texas but they do manage some Federal owned land.
In any case it seems some 90,000 acres will be removed from the state of Texas with
ownership being transferred somewhere else. Or am I reading this process the wrong way?
As I'm aware, having already voted against him once this year. He always talks tough around election time. If elected, he'll govern just like any other pseudo-republican.
