Are we headed for a major constitutional crisis? Texas Governor Greg Abbott is not backing down, and a whole bunch of other red states have publicly announced that they support what he is doing. In response, the Biden administration has reportedly issued a 24 hour ultimatum and is warning that Texas will “face the consequences” if the Texas National Guard does not stand down. I honestly do not remember the last time we witnessed a conflict of this magnitude between the federal government and a state government. Of course none of this is going to be good for Biden’s chances of winning in November, because there will be a constant focus on the border until this standoff is resolved.

Following the Supreme Court’s stunning decision in favor of the Biden administration, Texas Governor Greg Abbott invoked the right to self-defense in Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution…
After the Supreme Court vacated an injunction against the Biden administration cutting razor wire along the US-Mexico border installed by the state of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has declared an “invasion” and invoked the right to “self-defense.”
“The failure of the Biden administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV section 4 has triggered Article 1, section 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right of self-defense,” Abbott said. “For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I, section 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.”
It would have probably been smart for Joe Biden to just let this go.
But that wasn’t going to happen.
The Biden administration appears to be determined to keep the border wipe open, and reporter Simon Ateba is telling us that Biden has given Abbott “until tomorrow to allow federal agents to cut swaths of razor wire installed at the southern border”…
BREAKING: President Biden gives Governor Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX until tomorrow to allow federal agents to cut swaths of razor wire installed at the southern border by the state or face the consequences.
NOTE: Biden can federalize Texas National Guard leaving Abbott with no power to resist federal might.
NOTE: Biden, as President, has the authority to federalize National Guard units, bringing them under the control of the federal government.
NOTE: However, this is typically done in specific circumstances and with legal justifications, such as responding to a national emergency or protecting federal interests.
If Abbott does not comply, what will Biden do?
Will he invade Texas?
Of course not.
But Biden could attempt to federalize the Texas National Guard.
So what would happen if some or all of those troops refused to follow Biden’s orders?
This whole situation could potentially get really crazy.
Needless to say, Donald Trump was going to have something to say about all of this.
He is calling for all “willing states to deploy their [national guard] to Texas” in order to help protect the border.
Ultimately, this is not just a showdown between Joe Biden and Texas.
Reporter Bill Melugin has posted a long list of red states that have publicly announced that they are standing with the Lone Star State…
