BREAKING REPORT: ⚠️ Texas National Guard DEFIES SUPREME COURT RULING, installs more razor wire and barriers at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass Texas..
DEVELOPING..(video at link)
“If Biden can ignore the Supreme Court, everyone should be able to”
The Supreme court indeed, any court can’t enforce any of it’s decisions.
The Executive branch does that.
it is not without precedent for presidents to ignore the supreme court. That is why the Congress can de-fund, or impeach to force compliance(but they rarely do).
I had a funny feeling. 😉
Yes I understand all that but with $$$ comes some measure of control!
See post 63 Sauron has a better handle on those federal acts then I do.
Also, it was Reagan not Bush I who got into a fight with the Maas guv over deploying the Mass NG unit to Central America. I misremembered that! I think the court decision reinforced federal control.
So, if Xiden federalized them and they refused to stand down, they could be court martialed. If they refuse to tear down the wire again court martialed for disobeying a lawful order. Made particularly lawful by the stupid USSC ruling.
“I must say I am surprised Abbott would do this.”
Me too. Glad to see he grew a pair!
Gov. Abbott how can I join the Texas National Guard?
I volunteer!!!!
“The feds should just stand down at this point. Bad optics for them if they go totalitarian on the local jurisdiction.”
Just like stealing the election, I wonder if the Feds will wait until the dead of night to start cutting the wire. I suspect Texas already has, or will have very soon, large floodlights to catch |the Feds in the act.
Mr. GG2 said he heard today Louisiana was sending their guard to Texas to help. I cannot confirm.
Yes!!
This is the way!!
I like it.
Get the popcorn, this will be good.
Watch, Biden will federalize the TX Guard.
This could be the start to...

I don’t believe the Supreme Court (or lower courts) directed any order at Texas. Rather, Texas was asking for an injunction against the feds cutting/removing the wire, which the Supreme Court ultimately denied while the case moved through the Courts.
In other words, Texas remains free to put up razor wire, and the feds remain free to cut/remove it.
100% agree
If we look at the intent of militias from the Federalist papers, it was because of a distrust of standing armies and tyrants taking control of the military.
To limit standing armies, the Framers required Congress to reauthorize funding for the army every two years, just in case a tyrant tried to use the army in ways against American interests.
The state appointment of officers in the militia were to prevent a Commander-in-chief from using the militia from one state to attack another state.
The Constitutional protection of states against invasion was originally out of fear that larger states would invade smaller states. It would be the duty of neighboring states to protect each other from an aggressive state. It was also born out of fear that a state would use alien residents to increase its population to make it more powerful than its neighbors.
See my post on this discussing James Madison's writings in Federalist #43.
