More on point:

The Federal Government is in DIRECT violation of THE CONSTITUTION:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.
U.S.Const., Art. IV, Sec. 4.

Unconstitutional federal Court actions or decisions (here), acts and laws MUST be defied!!!

The easiest of the three to defy is Court decisions because the Court has no enforcement power.

I'll add, TEXAS and GOV. ABBOTT: STOP taking federal funding and become financially INDEPENDENT from the bankrupt feds. Your constitutionally sovereign state is meant to be INDEPENDENT!!!

Exactly as I said. No State must submit to invasion regardless of any ruling, law, notice or edict. Natural law supersedes here. This is an existential problem.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling on the motion carries zero persuasiveness.”

What ruling? The SCOTUS pulled a stay and gave no other ruling or comment at the time. Or is there some other reference being made?

What is an invasion?

While it might look obvious, the definition from the time of the founding of the republic has to be applied. At the time they were referring to “pirates and barbarians” who entered the country with enmity.

The argument from the left is that people seeming asylum are certainly not entering with enmity.

I think we should close the border and shoot at people as the cross the midpoint of the river…but unfortunately, constructionists are going to disappoint again when this gets to the SCOTUS.

The Biden administration is merely King George, hiring Hessian Mercenaries that arrive over the Southern Border. The foreign mercenaries are being paid wages, transportation, quartering, legal representation, and supported with command and control, right out of Washington DC.

The true insult is that they are doing so on the backs of my grandchildren. F@#$ers.

The Federal Government is in DIRECT violation of THE CONSTITUTION:

The Federal Government has abandoned the rule of law. What matters now is who can control the police and military forces.

What matters after that is who can continue to pay armed forces of any sort.

the ussc did not bother to supply any reasoning in its order. did i miss something? the omission glares at me. the ussc is hiding a feeling of insecurity over its own powers?

horowitz does a great job. to me right now it seems that he could have gone further.

“Barrett is a whore.”

Is that a common trollop, a tart, a courtesan, or a low born gutter slut?

There are differences you know. (-;

Good question about what’s an invasion defined as..

This nation has had problems defining simple things like what is a man and what is a woman..

Boney Barrett will be weak on the border. Remember, she adopted two Haitian children. That in my estimation makes her an immigrant lover and one of those, “we can’t condemn them for wanting a better life.” Screw her. I can’t stand her and she has not make one ruling that wasn’t political. Even the repeal of Roe vs. Wade was political to strike it down prior to the midterms in order to hurt Republicans and give the Dems a campaign issue when they had none.

The ruling could have waited until after the elections. She and Kavanaugh are traitors of the first order.

Imagine if Mike Pence were Greg Abbott, he would be down on the Rio Grande, wire cutters in hand, leading the Border Patrol boys and girls.

Better would be forcing a change to our Free Constitutional Republic by DISMANTLING the $3+ trillion 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds. I think that is the only way this thing will get fixed. Vivek (hopefully 2024 VP, 2028 President) seems to understand the need to do just that.

Look, the only way our beloved country will be saved will be by the same Hand of Divine Providence that miraculously birthed our nation to begin with. And I think He is taking a Hand.

Meanwhile, certainly the Declaration of Independence lays out when shedding the chains of governance is justified. We're not far away.

the sentiments of several adjoining states happened to be in unison

That would be nice. I haven't figured out a "block" of states that are patriotic and not Leftist. The good guys seem randomly dotted around the country.

The other big issue is this IMO: State financial DEPENDENCY on the feds for federal funding. NOT ONE STATE has turned down federal funding. THAT would tell the tale of which state is ready to be INDEPENDENT not only financially, but politically if necessary. My guess if one state did that, others would follow.

TX and the other 25 State Governors are standing with the Constitution, the biden regime and the Globalists, plus the left, are the ones who have seceded from the US.

You are the second person I’ve observed referring to Biden as King George the Third.

Yes.

The Left are the insurrectionists.

And their best defense is trying to go on the offense calling Patriots “insurrectionists”.
