President Biden Urged to Seize Texas National Guard - Joe Manchin Calls for National Emergency

On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration on closing the border.

A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

The call was made by Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro after Abbott posted on X, formerly Twitter, saying the Texas National Guard would continue to "hold the line in Eagle's Pass," a popular migrant crossing point, stating: "Texas will not back down from our efforts to secure the border in Biden's absence."

Castro re-shared Abbott's post on his own X account, adding: "Governor Greg Abbott is using the Texas National Guard to obstruct and create chaos at the border.

As of this writing, there has been no action on this by the Biden Administration.

This idea by Rep. Castro raises some interesting questions:

1) Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10, what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?

2)What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?

3)What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?

4)If the Pentagon sends federal troops... SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thus the basis of my joke.

I'll bet the Biden Obama regime laughed for hours after they read that letter. Especially the bullet points probably had them rolling on the floor. This is a lawless regime of Marxists who are hell bent on destroying America and they don't care about any laws.

Thr “National Emergency” is that SCOTUS has gone over to the Dark Side to join the DOJ, DHS, FBI, IRS
and other corrupt federal government bureaucracies in relegating the U.S. Constitution to history’s junk pile.

[Ciaphas Cain]

This is a far more potentially dangerous situation than the Nullification Crisis ever was.

It's as if these people WANT a civil war.

[TigersEye]

I’ve been saying that since Algore tried to steal an election with lawfare.

They just keep pushing harder.

Hold fast!

Now, THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about! :)

Texas was the only sovereign nation to join the US. They can leave anytime they want.

This isn't quite right. Texas, by law, can succeed from itself, but not from the Union. Texas is the only state that can split itself into five new states.

The 1845 congressional resolution that admitted Texas as a state reads: "New States of convenient size not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas and having sufficient population, may, hereafter by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution.”

The Left has been itching to kill real Americans since Obama was in office.

5 Texas’s would mean 10 more GOP Senators.

This situation in Texas is All that is needed to rightfully impeach president Biden... but everyone knows the GOP doesn’t have the nads to do it.

The rest of part 4, plus part 5:

“
4) If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?

5) Is there any possibility that there may be open conflict between Texas and federal officials?

TRUE INSURRECTION ON DISPLAY! Where’s Liz Cheney?

[dpetty121263]

Well the timid folks in FR will ring their hands while losing their Country. Think it’s time for bold action..

[rellic]

I’ll take your word for that, but I thought they could bail as they did in the civil war. There weren’t many union armies or naval blockades in Texas during that war.
