It bears noting that did ALL 3.

So, the former president of the United States is calling on states to take up arms to support Texas in its standoff against the federal government. That’s about as close to calling for civil war as you’re going to get without actually saying the words.

This is a situation that could spiral out of control in a heartbeat. I would not assume it’s just bluster.

Gov. Abbott is now putting barriers along Texas border with New Mexico ( news.yahoo.com )

Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.

strikes again. Sure would be nice if there were consequences for politicians that violate state & federal law.
