Gov. Greg Abbott claims the Biden administration has caused a 'constitutional crisis' after the U.S. Justice Department sued Texas to prevent troopers from stopping cars carrying migrants.
Abbott issued the statement after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department had filed a lawsuit over an executive order the governor signed on Wednesday.
The Executive Order GA-37 tasked the Texas Department of Public Safety with stopping any vehicle suspected of carrying migrants and reroute them to their origin or impound them, claiming that they pose a risk of spreading the COVID-19.
Abbott's order came even after he ended many the Lone Star State's protective measures amid the pandemic, even going so far as to prevent local governments from enforcing mask mandates and vaccine requirements.
'The Biden Administration has created a constitutional crisis between the federal government and the State of Texas,' Abbott said on Friday.

Constitutional Amendment XXVIII
Voter rights and procedure
Section 1. Only registered voters may vote. A register voter must prove citizenship in the United State of America, the person must be alive in the local, city, county, state, and USA of an election. Exception: military personal who will be automatically registered at time of service. These registered voter lists must be updated every 30 days. (This should be easy to set up by contact with vital statistics and utility companies, etc...) At election time all who vote must match the voter list and get one vote each.
Section 2. All election procedures, equipment, software, etc. Must be approved by referendum vote of the registered voters of the local, city, county and state held on July 1 every 2 years.
Section 3. When 5% of the registered voters request a referendum vote on any government legislation, any part of any legislation or any executive order, it must be brought up on the ballot of the next local, city, county, state, and federal election to which that legislation or executive order applies too.
Section 4. When 20% of the registered voters sign a petition to recall any elected official there must be a recall election setup immediately.
Section 5. Any violation of this Amendment is punishable by five years in prison or $250,000 fine or both. Any deliberate violation is treason and in this case is punishable by death.
DOJ job is to protect all Americans and not the illegals or are they Nazies
When you gaze up in the sky tonight at the biggest body in the heavens,
you will see the reason the USA protected Nazis too (well some of them anyway).
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Marxists see the poor and destitute as their constituents and don't differentiate between national affiliation. They consider the world to e their dominion and their policies to be universal in application. Hence they are a universal borderless state, with universal citizenship and a single government. They see only a Marxist collective under a single flag. As of this moment, Illegal Aliens have more rights and protections than tax-paying citizens.
It is time to get out the rope and set up the gallows ... to bring swift and effective justice to those who have corrupted our Constitutional Republic.
Two viable points. Texas, if memory serves, is a State who's agreement upon joining the Union of the United States of America included the "Right to Self Divide into Five States" and to Secede without penalty or cause whenever their Congress and Peoples feel it Justified. Second, Jefferson Davis, while being held prisoner was petitioned before the United States Supreme Court Justices to be brought to Trial for "Treason Against the United States of America." All the Justices, to a Man responded, in writing,(available in the Library of Congress), that if Mr. Davis were brought to Trial for Treason, "He would be found Innocent, on the Grounds of Upholding the Constitution!" The Law is the Foundation of Our Republic, not Emotion, then or now. Once the "Line is Crossed from Law to Emotion" Our Republic becomes a Mob, and chaos ensues.

That option for unilateral secession is acutely interesting to me.
I'd need to see that language in federal resolution or staute.
The Constitution provides in Article 1 at the end of section 10, that a state may not engage in war with another state or foreign power, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit delay.
Well, we are, with little dispute, in an assymetrical war (why not, Washington D.C. has accepted a global war on terrorism has been declared without evidence of military manoeuvres YET on this soil) that utilizes weaponized masses of illegal aliens to invade neighboring economies, creating an immediate crisis.
Progressives can gerrymander the most amazingly disconnected ideological constructs to justify their aims, but are completetly blind to obvious causal connections that do not promote their glandular advocacies.
Institutionalizing them as mental incompetents may be the only solution.

I am totally against succession because it is a withdrawal mindset, but rather support invade and conquer mentality, lets make all USA like Texas and free the other states from their oppression. We have the majority of patriots and firearms
Exactly, the RED State Governors need to form a union of resistance to Federal Overreach.... a consortium of think tanks designed to create NULLIFICATION LAW and anti-commandeering tactics utilizing the power of the Constitution and their soverign rights over the Federal Government. The Federal Government is the CREATION OF THE STATES and subject to the soverign consent of the State's to govern... SPECIFIC areas of the Union's common interests...
It is past time that the several states take the Federal Government to the woodshed and give them a good shellacking... using the Constitution as their legal authority to do so... and when the Federal Court oversteps its jurisdiction... the State's must step forward and tell them so... they must be prepared to inform the Federal COurts that they are not the supreme law nor are they empowered to dictate the terms of state government... outside of their jurisdictional authority.
The States must be ready to hold an Article 5 Convention to Amend the Constitution... to make it clear, that the Federal Cour's jurisdiction extends only to the FACTS AND LAW for a case in law that the plaintiffs have constitutional standing and the Court has jurisdictional power to hear. Federal Government and the Federal Courts are not mentioned as having standing or jurisdiction to sue a soverign State of the Unio. The Supreme Court has Constitutional jurisdiction to hear cases between STATES, individuals. and States, or cases involving foreign powers/sovereigns. The DOJ has no Constitutional authority to bring a lawsuit against TEXAS...
The States are soverign and as such are not subject to being sued by the Federal Government. The Federal Government is a construct ... an administrative body... created by the States to exercise federal powers in their name, as limited by the US Constitution... The Federal Government and its courts do not have the constitutional standing to sue a State. Parties seeking relief in law thru a federal court are limited to those cases in law brought by citizens, between sister States of the Republic, and those foreign powers with lawful commercial or treaty disputes. Again, nowhere in Article 3 of the US Constitution is the Federal Court empowered to hear cases between agencies or departments of the Federal Government, and one of the several States of the Union. The Federal Government has standing as a party in a lawsuit against a Soverign State. The US Constitution assigns no jurisdictional authority permitting a Federal Court to hear such a case between a soverign state and a federal agency.
See Article 3, Section 1 and 2... nowhere in the US Constitution is the Federal Government, its branches or offices, its Supreme or inferior Courts given jurisdiction or standing to INITIATE a law suite against a soverign state. The Federal Judiciary's jurisdiction is defined and limited by Article 3, Section 1 and 2. The Department of Justice has over-extended its standing by initiating lawsuits where it has no Constitutional authority or jurisdiction to do so.
The Federal Courts have jurisdiction to hear cases between individuals and States, States and other States, or cases between foreign governments and US government interests. The DOJ is part of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and it has no Constitutional standing to bring a lawsuit against a soverign State. Injured parties seeking relief from unconstitutional law or injuries have the standing to seek relief from a State in federal court. State Statutory laws or Executive Orders must demonstrate standing thru an injured party's COMPLAINT... an individual or an INJURED corporation must file suit against the State... The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT AN INJURED PARTY.
This all flies in the face of recent Federal Court activism.. however, the Constitution is clear on the limits of Federal Jurisdiction and its Court's power to hear cases in law... The left has become very adept at using activist Courts to do what they could not get done thru legislation... Roe vs. Wade, Separation of Church and State issues, social engineering and the destruction of the traditional family... etc. It is time to back up and reaffirm Constitutional law and jurisdiction to reign in an out-of-control Federal Judiciary.
