Here’s the one from June 6 — and the second, is from May 15 (en banc).

The moron arguing for the State of Texas this morning likened what Gov. Abbott and his minions are doing in Eagle Pass, to the endless waves of regular courageous and patriotic GIs who landed at Normandy, and bled and died by the tens of thousands on this morning — nearly 80 years ago, now. These people… know no shame (dammit!):

What a load of dung, particularly in the hard right’s en banc panel sitting — on May 15:

Now you know.

What a stupid waste of judicial resources, hearing and rehearing well settled matters that break against Texas. Damn.

Tonight, John informs us that the malevolent cabal of morons running Texas under the GOP’s aegis… have decided to raise an army — and take on repelling what they call an “invasion”.

No matter that most of these “invaders” are… being paid to mow Abbott’s donors’ lawns, run their manufacturing plants, and oil rigs… and handle restaurant operations — for the wealthiest one per cent of Texas (mostly GOP-ers)….

But in Hinderaker’s hateful telling, this is the Alamo all over again. [And it is likely to end just the way the Alamo did.]

Hinderaker blithely ignores that immigration and border security are exclusively seeded to the federal Executive branch (in our founding documents), not to the various states. This is so — not least of which — to avoid a series of unending chaotic / conflicting local vigilante actions.

Like this one. Abbott will be enjoined by the federal courts.

And all of this tempest in a Texas teapot… allows the Powerline boys to turn the page — and ignore Tangerine’s filing for 2024.

They are desperate — after the drubbings in the midterms — to push Trump down the memory hole.

And the Cumquat Pol-pot is NOT going to oblige.

I love it. Let him stay in — even past the GOP’s convention, and nomination of some other name… and form his own third party.

That is what I hope for (almost) most fervently.

Of course, this is the series of unfortunate events… John most fears. He well-knows if they don’t stop Trump now… no matter who the Democrats or Republicans nominate (assuming that’s not Trump)… the GOP candidate will lose. The Democratic Party candidate will coast to victory, no matter who it is — after Trump siphons off about a third of all otherwise GOP voters.

This is Ross Perot 2004, but in reverse.

I just hope Trump doesn’t fold too early.

And now, maybe… just maybe, I’d like to see an indictment held until about November 21, 2024 — if he ends up a third party candidate for 1600 Penn. as I surmise….

DELICIOUS.
