A Texan’s incisive take on his governor’s challenge to the Supreme Court and the Biden administration, from T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:
The issues in Texas have much greater consequence than a mere state’s rights issue. It is a question of national legitimacy. Is the Constitution the legal and rightful expression of American government or is America now simply a mass of lawless land? Is the president a dictator who can ignore the laws passed by congress, invite thousands of terrorists and foreign armies in without consequence, or is he bound by the laws as much as the states and the people? When will the people punish him for this lawlessness?
The Constitution, for all of its flaws, shields the people from the government and serves as a limitation on the powers of the government. It stands in the way of the power of government and as such has been attacked by government officials from the day it was presented to the people. It describes what form the government will take, but it is not perfect, nothing is. Those who revere it seek to impose its limitations on the government and those in government seek to free itself of those limitations.
This is the battle that rages every day, from sunup to sundown, year in and year out, decades and centuries of struggle. Those sent by the people to ensure that their rights and laws be honored are routinely corrupted and coerced into the Washington DC system of subversion; their purpose abandoned. The dance, the balancing act of behaving one way and professing another, is the show they put on to retain support of the people while betraying them.
Ozzy Osbourne got arrested for pissing on the Alamo forty plus years ago.
To be fair he was on several mind altering substances at the time and didn’t realize how important the place is to Texans.
That is how globalist traitor apparatchiks who serve external paymasters feel about the Lone Star.
