He is a puppet.
He and his several dozen "czars" all come out of the same milieu of Soros organizations. The laws he has been jamming through congress were written by those organizations and passed unread by congress and signed unread by himself.
Which means, of course, that under Pelosi and Reid we had a puppet congress too.
You'll notice that all of the debates we've had prior to any votes were all platitudes and generalities, devoid of detail. Thats because no one had actually read the bills.
They say he is bored with being president, and I say, of course he's bored. He isn't president. He's a cardboard cut-out. He's a place-holder.
My late father used the term, “they can go pi$$ up a crooked rope!”
You see, a straight rope won’t do....it has to be a CROOKED rope.
From the “Texas Secede” web-site:
Q: Doesn’t the Texas Constitution reserve the right of Texas to secede?
A: This heavily popularized bit of Texas folklore finds no corroboration where it counts: No such provision is found in the current Texas Constitution[1] (adopted in 1876) or the terms of annexation.[2] However, it does state (in Article 1, Section 1) that “Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States...” (note that it does not state “...subject to the President of the United States...” or “...subject to the Congress of the United States...” or “...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States...”)
Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the united States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other “free and independent State”) from the United States. Joining the “Union” was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option (regardless of what any self-appointed academic, media, or government “experts”including Abraham Lincoln himselfmay have ever said).
Both the original (1836) and the current (1876) Texas Constitutions also state that “All political power is inherent in the people ... they have at all times the inalienable right to alter their government in such manner as they might think proper.”
With all due respect, the 10th Amendment has been ignored more times than I can count - and laws and regulations violating it have been upheld almost as often.
You would not an honest court interpreting the constitution; one that wasn’t interested in activism. Go find one. MAYBE the SCOTUS on a 5-4 decision.
Me too. Unlike the last time...
most states..especially southern border states would be better off going back to territory status and completely dump all eco-KOOK regs and unfunded fed.mandates.
Yes, and surprised at Oregon and Maine.
Our SCOTUS should have been onto 0’b like stink on poo-poo, yet they have sit back with their fingers up their axx doing nothing.
Hopefully Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett are on the walls!
I believe congress gave these powers to the EPA a while ago.
Much like the Montana gun laws, all bluff and bluster. The fedgov has more power to lean on the little guys.
What feds? The FBI? Woukld they want a shootout with the Texas Rangers? (NOT the baseball team.)
Watch it, Texas is “Fed Up”.
Memo to EPA from Texas: Take a hike!
And besides, the first step will be some US Marshals arresting the plant manager at a refinery for operating without a permit. Will the Texas Rangers go to bat for him? Doubt it.
We can have CW2 dreams all we want, but the fact is the local LEO’s will just follow orders. I used to think different, but have talked to way to many to believe that anymore.
The "nuclear option" would be for Perry to declare that Texas would no longer have any sort of welfare program, other than providing a proposed welfare recipient with a free bus ticket to DC.

And so it begins, and on the most fertile red-state territory in the nation. Texas, which got four more seats in the House through the 2010 Census reapportionment, has had its air-quality rules superceded by the EPA as part of its aggressive new action on carbon emissions.Thanks SeekAndFind.
