I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Shit like this needs immediate reaction.
Biden refusing to take action against Texas is just emboldening them and other states.
He needs to invoke title 10, ideally ued have done it as soon as the letter was released.
It doesn't matter what the law says if a significant amount of the guard refuse to acknowledge it.
I don't know how anyone can believe they'll all just do the right thing, stop overestimating conservative nutjobs
You're calling for a civil war, you know that, right?
No, the asshats creating this mess in the first place (Abbott and the other Republican governors cheering him on) are the ones calling for Civil War. Let's be clear about who is on what side here.
And so you think Biden should do what they want?
•Order national guard into service.
•Arrest anyone who interferes with the lawful orders he gives
•Court martial anyone who disobeys and send them to Leavenworth
It's not rocket science, homeslice.
If you think it's really that simple, you need to pay more attention to politics
It's funny because it actually is that simple. Its either that or burning Sherman 2.0
It's literally that simple. There's zero argument it works any other way.
I did not say that. I merely pointed out that your previous comment was incorrect and that the user you responded to was not calling for Civil War. If you interpreted it as such, it's because Abbott and the Republican governors hyping up (yet another) pointless dick measuring stunt are the ones who were quite literally mentioning Civil War as an option.
That being said, however, I don't give a fuck what Biden does here. This is a stupid non-issue. We have real, tangible problems he should be focusing on imo. But as far as the law goes, yeah, Biden can do whatever the fuck he wants in this instance. The national guard and immigration/border enforcement is reserved as a power of the federal government. He's the chief executive and has the legal authority to wield that power as he sees fit within the bounds of the law.
Then I guess a better way to put it would be "Biden would be accepting their offer of civil war"
And I agree it's a stupid non-issue, which is why I am pushing back against the "just call up the national guard and arrest everyone involved" opinion.
