“I suspect TX National Guard can NOT afford to follow orders to open the border.
They live there, with friends, family, neighbors, but could they be subject to a court martial. Court martial —applicable or not—would be the Biden threat.”
Yes, but... threat of a court martial is nothing compared to what they face if the Marxist left agenda is fulfilled (ie open invasion via the open border). Add to that the fact that O’Biden is, like all leftists, ignoring and defying the US Constitution. Anyone upholding the enforcement of the border would be adhering to the Constitution in a court of law, so a court martial might not even be legal.
Bottom line, this is the war we’re in now. The only question is, will the 2nd shot (1st one killed Babbitt, IMO) officially kick it into “hot mode”. I suspect that if we were of the same grit and courage as our forefathers, that question wouldn’t be necessary and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Consider all of the lawlessness that the Marxist left has already allowed, enabled and encouraged. Knowing how leftists roll, that was just a tiny preview of what’s coming to America under “their rule”.
"In the face of arms, the law is silent". (Attributed to Cicero)
Legal arguments are merely cleanup details and rationalizations after the conflict is settled by other means. Our system is too badly corroded for laws to be decisive.
The Federal government has repeatedly abandoned the rule of law. Officials ignore Supreme court rulings when they are inconvenient and insist that the 'little people' obey those rulings when they favor the Federal authority.
Nope. We are not having that system.
