My BS sense is tingling.


OK, you don’t believe it then do your own research and prove it is wrong. My mind can be changed.

This was a great story about the State Guard back when I was in the Texas National Guard.

“One Texas State Guard battalion led by Robert Holloway, a former Vietnam Green Beret who had served as a mercenary for the white supremacist regime in Rhodesia, was disbanded for being too “gung_ho”_abandoning the standard green uniform for camouflage fatigues and engaging in search_and_destroy training, outside the group’s formal regulations. Ironically, the unit’s activities came to light after it was praised in an article in Soldier of Fortune magazine.”

Texas v. White, 74 U.S. 700 (1869) Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to have to speak up on it, rather than one word answers. They need to get going and make a ruling on it asap, or we will have a Constitutional crisis.

Here is what the Net says about the situation:
Governor Abbott of Texas has claimed that he has the constitutional authority to deploy Texas National Guard and state troopers to the border, citing Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, which allows states to act in self-defense when they are invaded or in imminent danger1. However, this claim is disputed by legal experts and the Biden administration, who argue that the federal government has exclusive power over immigration and border security, and that Texas is interfering with federal law enforcement and violating the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution23. The U.S. Supreme Court has not directly ruled on this issue, but it has vacated a lower court’s decision that prevented Border Patrol agents from accessing a park where Texas had erected concertina wire2. The legal standoff between Texas and the federal government over the border situation is ongoing and may escalate further.
