...to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..
... Thats my point.
Quoting the declaration of independence doesn’t change a thing.
The state is violating your rights and the constitution. You as a free citizen are guaranteed the free navigation of waterways.. Texas’ barriers are a direct violation and infringement upon the rights of citizens. They are unconstitutional.
You seem to think that citing what you believe to be the Fed not living up to its constitutional requirements, means Texas is justified in trampling on individuals rights and overstepping their authority.
This is just not the case. You and I the actual people are being HARMED by BOTH of these entities, the fed not living up to its requirements harms us, and TEXAS trampling on our rights also harms us.
Arguing one is justified because the other is doing something also is a rather stupid argument to be making.
Hey the fed is harming my rights as a citizen, so its fine for my state to trample even more of my rights...
You are literally arguing that your state has the right to repress you because the fed is repressing you in another way... with that kind of argument going on, its no wonder that the country is in the state its in.
