In the vast and often contentious landscape of state and federal powers, Texas finds itself at the forefront of a potential clash. The use of Title 10 Active-Duty, a presidential authority allowing the federalization of National Guard forces, has sparked heated discussions, especially regarding the Texas National Guard and the unique position of the Texas State Guard.
The intricacies of federalizing the Texas National Guard, a move that could be prompted by the Biden administration, have led to a strategic response from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. A call to federalize the Texas National Guard would trigger a swift and unprecedented reaction — throwing enlistment in the Texas State Guard wide open, with a plan to fully militarize and deploy them as a Border Protection Force along the entire border.

What lawful claim could Biden make to Federalize the Guard?
Biden’s next move is to start firing on Ft Sumter. Because why not?
No statute requirements for kings or democrats.
Biden “to use” or “could use”?
“Title 10 Active-Duty, a presidential authority allowing the federalization of National Guard forces”
Sorry, any Title, Statute, Act, or Law fails under the concept of Constitutional Supremacy.
Constitution rules over it all. Including Supreme Court duck-and-cover actions.
Texas claims Bidet Admin is not following the plain text and meaning of the Constitution.
All powers not delegated left to the States or to The People.
Texas is assunming it’s righful role of self-preservation.
I would suspect there are some interesting but quiet conversations going on among the non-commissioned officers at Ft. Hood: the guys who have the keys to the arms lockers and motor pool.
10 U.S. Code § 12301 - the section governing the “federalizing” a state’s national guard, REQUIRES the consent of the governor in domestic deployment.
Should Bi-sh$t and the rest of the commies declare Texas’ guard to be under federal control, they violate [again] the law, not that it matters any.
Indeed. The title is inaccurate clickbait-- but people will get their shorts in a knot as if it's a done deal.
A great many no doubt.
This is what tyrants do.
They need to remember no military is required to follow unlawful orders
Lawful claims are for chumps. The current regime will do whatever the hell it wants.

“What lawful claim could Biden make to Federalize the Guard? “
Easy,
Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas guard in 1958 to get black kids into school.
Kennedy federalized the Alabama guard in 1963 to get black kids into college.
Biden could federalize the Texas guard on the premise of failure to obey a court order...to put down insurrection etc.
There is NO QUESTION as to the legality of if.
And if the Generals/Officers of the Guard refuse, Biden is lawfully able to engage the US Army.
Neither Faubus or Wallace consented to federalizing their state’s NG to see that federal demands were implemented. If Biden foes this then what happens falls into the hands of the commanders, officers and troops of the TNG. Or Abbot gives in.
Look for the Supreme Court to define the current situation as “not an invasion”.
To stop them from enforcing federal and state law.
I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the consent of the governor when they Federalized the NG to desegregate that school in Arkansas. Unfortunately I have a feeling this is just a publicity stunt.
