Again, you are not looking at the record of those ROE for the forces under the command of the Governor.
The DPS is not armed with rubber pellets. They have real guns, real bullets, helicopters and planes.
And again, you are totally missing the issue.
Rick Perry (or any other anti-fence President) will no longer be ‘the boss’ and have the control and authority of a governor. He will be President and subject to a different set of rules in the Federal version of a “Co Equal” (yea, I know...) system with distinctly UN-equal democrats. Picture this..
Dear Mr President,
The House and Senate Democrats have decided that you will not be using the Border Patrol, National Guard and related agencies to interfere with our ever-growing constituency from the South as you attempted to do with your authority over the Texas DPS.
Henceforth, any attempt to enforce anything but the open border which our continued power and authority rest on, will invoke our wrath and you will get nothing you require, want or need to govern from us.
Additionally we will be on TV and throughout the media 24/7 and if you think we raised hell with Bush, you haven’t seen squat.
By the time Americans stop to imagine the ramifications, we will be permanently ensconced in power and we have Milquetoast ‘conservatives’ to thank.
Shoulda stopped us when you had the chance,
your pals,
Harry and Nancy.
