What would a law suit accomplish? He’d simply over rule it via EO.

[llevrok]

gosh, I bet that’s got the White House nervous.

Just mobilize your state’s national guard and secure your border for pete’s sake.

[TexasGator]

“after a request for $30 million in border patrol and enforcement went unanswered by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. “

Obama: “See I tried.”

[molson209]

Obama plans to Bankrupt and destroy all that appose him ,don’t forget the thousands that are obeying orders to help him destroy the US

[cableguymn]

More hot air from someone trying to look tough..

didn’t work.

Obama is not afraid of law suits.

[upchuck]

What happened to the stories about Gov Perry calling out the National Guard and Texas Militias and posting them on the border to stop the kiddie invasion?

[Cheerio]

Law suits take forever - little king barry will be technically out of office by the time this reaches any conclusion - that is IF HE HAS NOT DECLARED MARTIAL LAW BY THEN.

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. 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; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

[Paine in the Neck]

That basis for a suit is weak tea. I expected a more robust response from Abbott. The suit should be based on failure of the federal government to execute its responsibilities under Art. IV, Sec.4 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; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

It is the principal reason that the federal government was created and failing to carry out that responsibility ought to be considered a very grave offense.

[tennmountainman]

Isn’t that nice. Thousands are invading Texas weekly and Perry wants
to sue. Of course, it may take years to work through the judicial system.
What Perry is really saying is I don’t want to do anything about it.

Perry’s career in politics is finished.

[freekitty]

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. Just get the job done. Build the damn fence and deport.

[Hattie]

He will talk like this till after the election. Then it will be forgotten. Another Rick Perry. Better than most but still no conservatives.

[SoConPubbie]

What’s with the “May sue” garbage?

Either do it or shut-up about it!

[boycott]

If the US government doesn’t enforce its laws, Texas should take steps to succeed from the union.

You can bet people in Vermont, Maine, and Minnesota wouldn’t be blue states if all these illegals were dumped on them.

[depressed in 06]

Congress cannot bailout OdumBO on this, it would, just, encourage him to do it again. A court needs to tell the executive he must pay the state(s).

[OneWingedShark]

CWII Spark — States refusing to do their duty and/or the federal government preventing them, both could kick things off.

TX Constitution
Art. 4, Sec. 7. COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES; CALLING FORTH MILITIA.
He shall be Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State, except when they are called into actual service of the United States. He shall have power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.

As a poster up-thread said: a lawsuit is [often] an excuse to not do something.

[Uncle Chip]

may??? what are they waiting for???

[ExCTCitizen]

Sue ‘em, Texas!!!!

[djwright]

Why do they make this all about money? IE if they win the lawsuit and get some federal dollars to deal with the invasion.....so what?

Perry should call for a volunteer force of patriotic Texans. Put them under the Texas Rangers, deputize them and start a continuous patrol of the border.

Take a small section of state parks and set up holding areas.

Surround any federal facility that is housing these “kids”. Make it a state felony to release them, and arrest anybody who tries or transports them.

Call for volunteers with any military,LE experience. Ask for donations from all 50 states.
