This is the kind of leadership that America needs. Standing up for the Constitution, the law, and states' rights.

Unless it is a reserved power of the feds, the feds operate at the pleasure of the state within the state.

That’s apparently not the considered position of Traitor Roberts.

The Feds have shown themselves to be cavalier in the use of lawfare and in the complete disregard of laws and judicial decisions they do not like.

Most liberals interpret the Supremacy Clause as giving the Federal government the supreme legislative authority. My understanding of the Supremacy Clause is that the Federal government is only supreme in its use of the 18 reserved powers of the federal government. All other powers on the books and in conception is where the state is supreme.

Section 10. U.S. Constitution:
A State may go to war if actually invaded...
It’s right there ...you can read it.

“Section 10. U.S. Constitution:

Yup. The Founders anticipated this situation.

If Dems can name the J6 protests an insurrection in an attempt to trigger the insurrection clause, TX Gov. Abbott can name the illegal immigration an invasion to enable TX to defend their borders.

It’s one of my favorite go-to memes.

I still laugh.

James Madison didn’t think so


But Madison owned slaves, so his thoughts on anything are cancelled.

U S. Constitution, Section 10; the actual text of the pertinent portion:

“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

So I guess legality here all comes down to how one interprets “invaded”.

Common sense becomes controlling at some point.

Five Supreme Court “justices” don’t agree with him.

The Constitution on invasion of states, and the states rights.

But no, DeSantis is not who we need, because he like all others is owned by those who support him financially, with money that extends farther than the legal donation cap amounts, and sadly it is them who will control what he can & cannot do.

But keep naively pushing the narrative, which is false. It's also why Donald John Trump is a God send because he has the money to not be owned, and why we must support him.

Invasion it is. The heavily armed cartels are behind the scenes. The waves of human shields are their army.
