I think an issue should be is Texas Law consistent with federal law? If so, it should be a moot point about who enforces it.

It seems like, most of the time, the Law is “whatever”.

When the president refuses to protect the country from invasion, it is the job of the governors to step up.

The whole point of the Constitution is to reign in the federal government.

State’s rights play a major factor in this.

Perhaps the court should be asked what recourse the people have when the executive chooses to not enforce existing law? Mr Biden took an oath to faithfully execute the laws yet he is clearly not doing that.

Do constitutional restrictions apply to Texas but not to Biden?

Duh!

Biden and company are acting like a dictatorship, and there's nobody in congress or the Supreme court to stop them. Meanwhile, Texas has people that obey the law, therefore, the constitution applies to them. Biden and company know that the constitution does not apply to them, and Obama was the same way. In essence, the law doesn't apply when democrats are in control. Republicans are held accountable and even go to prison, while democrats can do whatever they want with impunity.

I think that the confiscation laws used against cocaine lawyers for accepting money from criminals should be used against Biden vis a vis Sam Brinkman.

It doesn’t matter. It’s an emergency so the governor can do whatever he wants. Just like covid. Declare an emergency.

The Constitution tasks the federal government with regulating immigration and controlling international borders.

No, it doesn't. The Constitution allows the federal government to make a uniform rule of naturalization for the States to follow. It does NOT give it jurisdiction over unauthorized foreign nationals crossing the border.

I believe that is the whole argument in a nutshell.

Exhibit A is RICO. There are federal RICO statutes 18 US Code Ch 96. There are also RICO statutes in Georgia that are even broader. If Trump can be prosecuted for violating the same thing as federal statutes, Texas can do the same under a slightly broader statute.

I wonder if Mensa Chairman Fani Willis gave Ken Paxton the idea.

What happened?

Did the hill finally awake to its wokeness?

Doubtful.

I smell a rat...

Texas just needs to get on with it and secede. We’ve been picking at it for several years now. We just need to do it.
