The Supreme Court is was not supposed to be a suicide pact

[blackdog]

Not much of a crusade, but I’ll take it.

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

And with whose money. In fact, that matters right now.

The Federal Government has not merely abandoned the rule of law; it has contravened the law, and set out, very clearly, to implement the Cloward-Piven Strategy on its fullest scale, with its purpose being to OVERWHELM AND SHATTER THE SYSTEM. The System. That’s our System Of Governance. Make NO MISTAKE—this administration has, since its inception, set out to bring down the United States Government as we know it. This is a Radical Left Wing Revolution, not in any metaphoric or stylistic sense, but the actual implementation of precisely what they have told us they were going to do for the last 60 plus years. THIS IS TREASON!!!

Mike Lee thinks Barrett voted that way, so she didn’t appear partisan.

Nine fallible humans, usually with potentially vulnerable family members, can be coerced into poor decisions. They are the Constitution’s weakest link.

SCOTUS did not rule on the issue. They simply declined to issue a temporary injunction.

That says almost nothing about how they'll rule when they do consider the issue.

[TornadoAlley3]

It’s a temporary ruling. They’ll side with Texas when the final full case is heard.

1. Start with your underlined red type Art. IV, §4 Federal responsibility.
2. Add the Art. II, §1 Presidential Oath which incorporates that responsibility into person of the President.
3. Insert Gov. Abbott formally declaring Texas has been invaded and invoking its powers under Art. I §10. I don't see how anyone can gainsay its governors declaration of an invasion unless action by the Texas legislature was required to make that official. But for an emergency action like this allowing the governor alone to declare it makes more sense than legislative action just as the President can act and act quickly without awaiting Congress in true emergencies.
4. Art. IV §1 Full faith and credit shall be given in each State to the public act, records, and judicial proceedings of every other State. Abbot's declaration is covered by this, ie. California can't laugh it off.
5. Art. III §3 Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. How can those officially invading Texas NOT be its enemies and thus by the Full Faith and Credit clause NOT be the enemies of the whole? Team Biden hasn't started shooting at the Texas Guard so isn't yet levying war against them and thus the US, but it certainly is giving aid and comfort to the invaders and adhering to them. All that's left to convict on the Constitutional definition of treason is the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court. Shouldn't be too hard to find two witnesses.
6. Try them in which venue? The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed. DC isn't a state so crimes there get tried wherever Congress had specified, which the J6 gulag teaches needs to be changed! BUT if you can get two witnesses to the same overt treasonous act done within Texas you get to try them in Texas! Seek out witnesses appropriately. However I'm not certain state prosecutors have jurisdiction to charge a federal crime of treason. And although state level laws on treason against particular states exist I don't know if the rest of my arguments herein apply to those laws.
7. That except in cases of impeachment does block charges in a friendly venue against an important and deserving set of legal targets: Art . II, §3 The president, vice-president and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. IIRC that means Biden, Harris and everyone Biden appointed who required Confirmation have to be impeached and convicted by the Senate before criminal courts can touch them. 218 House votes to impeach is marginally conceivable; 67 Senate votes to convict would take an acid trip to conceive. However, although politics prevents their conviction by the Senate, they can still have their treason cases presented in the public arena and their reputations impeached, non-legally, therein. But lower level traitors could be charged. And, surprisingly, so could Congresscritters: They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and returning from the same So if Ken Paxton can find two witnesss to an overt Congressional act of treason within Texas, he can charge them in Texas and their home state must extradite them (Art. IV §2 Clause 2)

Needs repeating:

“Do you think the American people would ever have ratified the Constitution if they had been told, ‘The meaning of this document shall be whatever a majority of the Supreme Court says it is’?”

I think we are at the point now where SCOTUS believes that...

Art. III §3 “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.” How can those officially invading Texas NOT be its enemies.

Agreed. Texas is only a portal of invasion. The treasonous feds have opened the United States to INVASION (so full faith and credit between the states is not necessarily relevant - ALL the states are being invaded. Texas is choosing to stand against this treason).

Art . II, §3 “The president, vice-president and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The traitors (the REAL “insurgents”) should be summarily removed from office.

Art. III §3 “The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason.” It would appear that after removal, they may be prosecuted.

Remember, Governor Greg Abbott in 2020 set up checkpoints on the roads leading into Texas from Louisiana to screen people and enforce the mandatory quarantine, as if Louisiana were an international border. The federal government and the courts had no problem with it. Suddenly, when it comes to invaders, foreigners have more rights than Americans do.
