Moving from Williamson County to south Austin in January. I’ll be in Lloyd Dogget’s district. For the first time in my life I’ll have a communist representing me.

Donno. Likely.

I had that decal on some model cars in the 60's. Also used it to decorate my canoe paddle prior to a couple of wilderness trips in the 60's.

Well, at the rate Wiliamson County is going liberal, you won't be able to tell the difference between the two in a few more years.

These people learn nothing when they get here and bring their rotten politics with them.<<,

Same thing here in Maine....Rusticators and Trust Fund babies.....They cant wait to tell us how backwards we are and how they did it back in Mass. R.I, New Jersey or where ever....... I always politely offer to buy them a bus ticket back to Utopia if they'll leave tomorrow.....I haven't bought a bus ticket yet but they sure get out of my space in a huff...usually in a smoking Volvo covered in bumper stickers

Most treaties are about things that require funding. With no money, they don’t work as designed. You might even win a lawsuit, but NO ONE tells the House what it has to appropriate.

I think that we should have a state law which prevents anyone from voting in any election in Texas until they have lived here for five years.

I see your link, and will raise you one re-reading of the American Revolution.

You stated before that "there's nothing anyone can do about it." I'm sorry, but that's simply not true. Like all people, the American people do have a breaking point. If and when we're pushed beyond that point, the purveyors of such tyrannical concepts won't know what hit them.

De-evolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised.

De-evolution will be no rerun, brothers.

De-evolution will be live.

If it’s presented as a way for per capita expenditures for schooling to be leveled out, you’d have a lot of folks in the inner city go for it, while the folks in the suburbs would be furious. The suburbs would lose funding for their schools or whatever else the new districts decided to include in this.


I think CA basically leveled out skool funding several decades ago.

My wife went to school in the Central Valley in a town funded by oil money and was one of the richest school districts in the state. Wasn't good enough for the socialists and the laws changed quite a while ago.

If the US Senate ratifies the treaty, it will trump all laws.

Wrong.

The Constitution trumps any treaty, and I believe that has already been settled in front of the Supreme Court.

In any case, there should be no way that treaty should have any chance to be ratified in the Senate.

I have seen very few political ads here in TX and nothing about what’s on the ballot. What does that mean?

It won’t happen, California was never “a bedrock of conservatism” and it will never return to being moderately conservative.

The old school population has been fleeing for years, and the replacement voters will not return it to it’s past days.

HELL NO!!! These cities got themselves into this mess, it’s not my responsibility as a taxpayer to help clean their mess!!

That is exactly my thought when I hear mentions of possible bailouts for entire states down the road. Screw them all! Why should all of us need to shoulder any of the burden for their failed liberal petri dishes.

Reid v. Covert

Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that the Constitution supersedes international treaties ratified by the United States Senate. According to the decision, “this Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty”.

2. Insofar as Art. 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides for the military trial of civilian dependents accompanying the armed forces in foreign countries, it cannot be sustained as legislation which is “necessary and proper” to carry out obligations of the United States under international agreements made with those countries, since no agreement with a foreign nation can confer on Congress or any other branch of the Government power which is free from the restraints of the Constitution. Pp. 15-19.

BTW: If Prop 31 passes, the Republicans should attack it in court the very next business day. It should NEVER be allowed to stand.

Aren't the republicans endorsing it? As my post 6 shows, that is my understanding.

"Creating regional super governments empowered to raid and redistribute suburban tax money."

More Obama/Marx redistribution of wealth.

This is also called "Metro Government". An attempt to impose it in Chicago and its northern, southern and western suburbs was attempted decades ago, I think in the sixties or thereabouts.

Thanks to the efforts of an amazing, determined and courageous suburban woman, the late Mrs. Adeline Dropka, and her huge band of SOS (Save our Suburbs) men and women who worked shoulder to shoulder, street by street, in every suburban town and neighborhood until the whole "one-commune" gambit was defeated and the idea was dropped.

I'm a veteran of that two-year campaign by the SOS volunteers. I remember that Dade County in Florida was used in our literature as a "hobgoblin" example of a major city (Miami, population 2 million plus) and all its many surrounding independent suburban communities being thrown into the same pot ruled by the all-powerful "Metropolitan Government" dominated by the city itself.

The whole idea of Metro Government is re-distributing tax dollars extracted from the suburban "makers" to the decaying, welfare-ridden, corrupt city "takers".

If Obama is re-elected this whole idea will emerge again in the Chicagoland area where for decades the take-over plan has lain dormant...... but never dead in the hard-core marxist mindset.

This reminds of the time the north part of Los Angeles County tried to split off because they were tired of paying for a bunch of stuff in the Los Angeles city area and getting stuck with undesirable stuff like county prisons. That proposition failed. The less populated areas couldn’t compete with the big cities.

P.S. Return the Endeavour to Antelope Valley.
