I just got a notice yesterday asking us to conserve energy and turn our thermostats up to 78 because the frigging wind wasn't blowing hard enough. Everybody knows it's hot as 40 hells down here and Abbott sold us out to the woke wind companies. He's been running around (oh, whoops, pardon the crass pun) trying to save his reputation and his political ass ever since February when he dropped the ball and his pants and it's likely he'll be primaried.
Exactly. Ive been digging into ERCOTS past press releases (dating back to 2000) then looking @ TX temps across years. Just curious if this is a USUAL thing or if this is weather-manipilation-TX-punishment. Will report findings if deemed worthy.
That's not how you pronounce "covefefe" and names are almost wholly irrelevant except in maybe getting an initial idea of how someone could be. Otherwise, people are individuals and should be judged as such.
It is Symbolic in that it is not any new right, but not symbolic at all by putting D.C. on notice that the State of Texas will vigorously defend their rights under the Constitution.
The 10th Amendment covers States Rights, and limits the Federal Government from running the affiars of the individual states... something they have increasingly done for decades. (Cabal driven.)
Governor Abbott has essentially drawn a line in the Texas sand, and said NO MORE, back the hell up, and stay in your lane, D.C.
This will also, I hope, inspire other Governors to do the same - and in that sense, is much more than symbolism to me.
It shouldn't need to be done, as it's implicitly stated in the Constitution via the 10A, but that's the state of affairs in our civics-absent education system.
There's only a handful of things that are explicitly stated in the Constitution that are the responsibility of of the federal government: Article I, Sec 8
Section 8
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;–And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
It reminds the Feds that WE THE PEOPLE, thru our State Legislatures, are the TRUE holders of power in this country. The Fed Give exists BECUASE The People AND the 50 States allow it to exist and not the other way around, like [they] think.
Symbolic, but potentially sets the stage for real action.
Real action would require the legislature, governor, sheriff, or some other state/local government employee to stand up to federal employees who are trying to impose a specific, unconstitutional federal law or regulation.
When/if that happens, this will get VERY interesting.
Unless ... it's just a political move by a politician.
Fuck Abott. He’s only doing this because he got called out for going along with the scamdemic. He’s trying to move right now that he has a primary challenger.
The states are individual nation states. The Constitution is a contract between the corporate government (Federal Gov) and the States/the People. It outlines 19 specific powers the Contracted (Federal) government will have.
It also outlines a bunch of things they are not allowed to do. Like infringe on gun rights. If we want the contract to be upheld, we have to put people in office who will enforce it or get out of it for breach of contract.
Nah, DeSantis does his job and protects his citizens and states rights. While he could do this symbolically he doesn't need to write tweets patting himself on the back to make his voters forget about past actions.
Passed by House & Senate, goes into effect Sept 1st. He still hasn't signed it. I've sent multiple messages and left phone messages for him to sign the damn bill!
What was it, a month ago that Abbott was saying he'd sign the bill as soon as it crossed his desk? Maybe there's a good reason he hasn't signed it. As it stands, I don't think I'll be voting for him in the primaries next year.
"Centipedes please! Ignore my Primary challenger! Look how Based and Crimson-pilled I am! I'm hip too! Pls re-elect me and forget all the tyrannical pandemic stunts I pulled... we're cool now, right Millipedes? Guise??"
Typical pre-election posturing from career snakes. He doesn't give a flying FUCK about you, your family, or your vote (unless its for him, of course).
This might be more for the movie plot and education for the public on how our country works. This whole past 5 years has been a civics lesson by the white hats.
I think he is on the right track, but he is over-reaching by asserting Texas sovereignty over all powers not granted to the federal government by the US Constitution.
The 10th Amendment states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
His claim of Texas sovereignty over powers fails to exclude any claim by Texas over the many powers rightfully belonging to the people.
Does this actually do anything, or is it more of a symbolic gesture? Legitimately asking, pardon the ignorance.
If Abbot has to announce it himself, and it sounds good, it probably isn't what you think.
That's one thing I've learned about him since watching.
Yep he is DS cucked-up beyond all repair, in other words
DSCUBAR?

He's trying to take a stand after the damage is done. He really handicapped the energy sector in Texas.
I see what you did there

Inconceivably based
So you're saying Abbot rhymes with faggot?
If so, I respectfully disagree, not that it matters; one can be trusted or not, independent of one's name
Yes. Also, “fe” rhymes with “gay” and therefore so does your username.
Clinton.
Biden.
Bush.
There's no long A sound in my username, Zippy. If you're saying it that way, it's because you're gay.
And the list of surnames signifies what? The names are what made the people untrustworthy?
Are you sure it wasn't their behavior?
Maybe you need a nap.

I never did trust Tom Saget
Saget--the guy on the funny video show....he's a huge bugger of kids.
It seems to rhyme in a dream

Totally agree. More than symbolism.
I mean yeah, it's the fucking tenth amendment.
If that's symbolic than we're more fucked than we thought
Anybody got a copy of the document he released? Or are we just reading headlines ?
It saves us all time. I really wanted to see what he said, not just IF he said it.

There are a few amendments that added a couple of other things, but that's it.

And now Lt Col Allen West is gunning for him..

DeSantis needs to jump on this quick, fast, and in a hurry.
Nah, DeSantis does his job and protects his citizens and states rights. While he could do this symbolically he doesn't need to write tweets patting himself on the back to make his voters forget about past actions.
Touche
But on 2nd thought, whatever it takes to actually start doing the right thing?
I don't know, but I don't exactly trust him.
It's about time he nutted up. Florida is kicking his ass...well desantis.
And yet he lets a bill protecting gun rights sit on his desk unsigned.
I really feel he is the establishment snake positioning himself to steal patriot votes.
Is it actually passed and waiting?
Passed by House & Senate, goes into effect Sept 1st. He still hasn't signed it. I've sent multiple messages and left phone messages for him to sign the damn bill!
If he lets it lapse he’s done here in Texas
What was it, a month ago that Abbott was saying he'd sign the bill as soon as it crossed his desk? Maybe there's a good reason he hasn't signed it. As it stands, I don't think I'll be voting for him in the primaries next year.
What’s the bill title and number? I’ll be sure to call as well and tag them in tweets too
Wow. Proof right there folks
Yes. Waiting on him.
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/05/texas-passes-permitless-gun-carry-sends-bill-to-gov-abbott-who-is-ready-to-sign/
When's he gonna address the Covid passport bill that had blatant loopholes?
Every state should do this.
I mean, they did around 1787, but it does feel like they've all forgotten. Maybe somewhere around the mid 1800s or so.
When finger in the air politicians start showing spine, it reveals polling data that we are not hearing on CNN or other MSM.
Looks to be where we are headed, rightly so. Optimistic. Yes, other states will follow.
It's almost as if a Storm is brewing.

I can't remember the last time a governor had the balls to invoke the 10th. This movement is giving some GOP leaders a spine.
If they want to go to war with Texas at least we don't have to worry about them being around after that.
All talk
Maybe the Texas national guard wants to raze d.c. with those Fuckers it. Cockroaches, Most all of them.
