Texas Gov. Abbott Suggests SCOTUS Self-Fornicate.













 


Conservative Treehouse: Texas Gov. Abbott Declares state is under invasion, and will therefore do any goddamn thing they see fit to do about it, regardless of the FedGov's ceaseless attempts to aid and abet that invasion.

Short version:

Dear Mr. Chief Justice Roberts: 
Here is a shovel. Yonder is a pile of sand. Behind you is your ass. Some assembly required. Isn't the Tenth Amendment a wonderful thing?
Love and kisses, the Governor of Texas


 Go long on popcorn and beverages. This is getting interesting.

Side note: I know locals have already declared Abbott another Vichy Republican. I note purely for informational purposes, that this current showdown is how people become vice-presidents. Trump has already supposedly decided upon his running mate for this campaign, but has not announced that selection.

This invasion (and that's exactly what it is, and was intended to be!) is the kind of lightning-rod issue that could make for a steal-proof national landslide. I'm not getting my hopes up, but the shit-fits that will be taking place in DC over this are probably biblical right now.

Well lets see. NH results -- Trump 175k, Haley 139k. But wait! There were 130k undecideds in NH per the 2020 polling. So roll the numbers at 10% Haley's 'real win' total would be 125k or a high side 50% yielding 69k voting for her. ZH headline -- 'Reid Hoffman Pulls Out Of Nikki Haley After New Hampshire Pounding'. Yep, we could have a Reaganesque result inbound.

Bye the bye, Biden won NH but his he only got 65k votes.

Am I the only one who thinks this could get real sporty real quick? And I'm think of the Texas National Guard getting into a gunfight with the Feds, then the US Army being ordered to engage the TNG, then the US Army, which has a lot of Texans, refusing those orders etc....

Well, Dems in Texas are urging Biden to take control of the TNG. I guess that depends on the TNG being willing to cooperateof course, and that's not 100% certain. They are the Texas National Guard, not the Federal National Guard after all.

TNG should be dissolved. All for members should be sworn into the Texas Rangers.

The TNG lives in Texas. That will matter.
