Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
We have a MAJOR Constitutional Crisis between the actions of Biden himself and the recent Supreme Court ruling against Texas relying on the Supremacy Clause, which defies the entire intent of the purpose and promises of joining the union. It is astonishing that Justices Roberts and Barrett sided with the left wing and have allowed Biden’s federal officers to continue removing the border fencing erected by the state of Texas while the case is pending.
I am sorry; the Supreme Court is seriously wrong in this decision. The Supremacy Clause may say that Federal decrees overrule state law, but here we are talking about an executive order that is not democratically enacted or even presented to Congress. If the President decrees that you must kill all your firstborn, which Congress never enacted, does that force everyone to do so because of the Supremacy Clause? It is fundamental in the interpretation of law or the Constitution that you cannot interpret one clause of the Constitution in such a way that it violates another.
Article IV
Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Article I Legislative Branch
Section 10 Powers Denied States
Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
The Texas response to the Supreme Court’s order has sparked a heated debate, but honest, serious legal questions have emerged that go to the very heart of the United States’ structure and why Biden has so divided the country. It truly can no longer stand united. In defiance of the Supreme Court’s order, which was SERIOUSLY FLAWED, a decision to install even more razor wire in Eagle Pass has raised several questions about the state’s authority and its conflict with federal laws.
The defiance of the Supreme Court’s order has also raised concerns about the respect for the rule of law, as some expressed fears that this could lead to a conflict between the state and federal authorities. Under this interpretation, Biden should send troops and invade Texas as if this were the Civil War. After all, that’s what Abraham Lincoln did. Some of this is that Texas could take its case to the international court. That is absurd, for the US has refused to join the International Criminal Court, so they have no jurisdiction.
Biden Has No Authority to Refuse to Execute the Immigration Law as it stands now contrary to his Oath of Office.
Biden took an oath of office which states:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
An executive order is a directive from the President with much of the same power as a federal law. Several landmark moments in American history came about directly from the use of executive orders issued from the White House’s desk, including one Supreme Court decision that limited a presidential executive order issued by Harry Truman in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952). This is a critical case because it directly deals with an Executive Order.
Truman believed to avert a nationwide strike of steel workers in April 1952, claiming it would jeopardize national defense, he issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of Commerce to seize and operate most of the steel mills in the country. There was no statutory authority granting such authority. Still, Truman asserted that it was covered by the claim that his power was based on all powers vested in the President by the Constitution and laws of the United States and as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
The Secretary issued an order to seize the steel mills and directed their presidents to operate them as operating managers for the United States as if they were slaves. Truman did report his action to Congress, but Congress took no action. Even the Fifth Amendment Taking Clause was ignored. This even prevents the claims that the government will just confiscate everyone’s assets. The military is what supports the government and takes its assets away as well, and the government falls.
So here we have the only Supreme Court case on an Executive Order, and the Supreme Court limited and reduced it. It expressly held that the Executive Order was not authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and it cannot stand. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-589. Furthermore, it expressly stated that there is no statute that expressly or impliedly authorizes the President to take possession of this property as he did here. Pp. 343 U. S. 585-586.
Biden Has Committed Treason by Deliberately Violating His Oath of Office
ARTICLE III
Section 3
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
The Court construed the other treason offense authorized by the Constitution similarly narrowly in Cramer v. United States (1945). That case involved another infamous incident in American history: the Nazi Saboteur Affair. Cramer was prosecuted for treason for allegedly helping German soldiers who had secretly infiltrated American soil during World War II. In reviewing Cramer’s treason conviction, the Court explained that a person could be convicted of treason ONLY if he or she adhered to an enemy and gave that enemy “aid and comfort” which Biden is doing.
As the Cramer Court explained:
“A citizen intellectually or emotionally may favor the enemy and harbor sympathies or convictions disloyal to this country’s policy or interest, but, so long as he commits no act of aid and comfort to the enemy, there is no treason. On the other hand, a citizen may take actions which do aid and comfort the enemy—making a speech critical of the government or opposing its measures, profiteering, striking in defense plants or essential work, and the hundred other things which impair our cohesion and diminish our strength—but if there is no adherence to the enemy in this, if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.”
In other words, the Constitution requires both concrete action and an intent to betray the nation before a citizen can be convicted of treason; expressing traitorous thoughts or intentions alone does not suffice.
From October 2022 last year to September 2023, officials at the southern border have arrested 169 people whose names matched those on the terrorist watch list, compared with 98 during the previous fiscal year and 15 in 2021, according to government data. These are just the people they caught. Watch RFK’s Nightmare at the Border, and he has confirmed that the majority of the people coming in are NOT from South America.
Governor Abbot is Correct
Biden is REFUSING to execute the law passed by Congress and has embarked on an agenda that, WHATEVER Trump did, he has to reverse regardless of the consequences. For a president to REFUSE to execute the law, NO statutory or constitutional authority allows him to do so. Not only is the Governor correct, but this illustrates why the United States cannot stand as a union, for once again, the government usurps all authority to a central government as did Stalin in Russia, and it is only a matter of time before the government to collapse. That is the verdict throughout history – no dictatorial central government has ever survived long-term.
The Roman Empire split over this same issue. In fact, Postumus (260-269AD) issued a coin with the reverse showing him coming to the rescue to defend France, Netherlands, and Britain against the flood of immigrants pouring in from the other side of the Danube – the Restitutor Galliar” (the restorer of Gaul).
As many know, the computer has been forecasting civil unrest, and eventually, the United States will split, as will Europe. Centralized Control, when adopted by a government, ends the very purpose of forming a civilization when everyone benefits. This Biden Administration is acting by an executive order bypassing the Congress that theoretically represented We the People. These forecasts are by no means my personal opinion or wish. I have done my best to WARN the government that this path leads to dissolution. But they refuse to listen and prefer to roll around in the mud like a pig with no cares in the world. It is HISTORY that warns this is not going to end nicely. But nobody will listen because they prefer Klaus Schwab’s new world of total power ending elections.

Yes, and yes.
Well, it begins.
This IS what the deep state who runs Biden wants. This is the way “free and fair” elections don’t happen in November.
But remember friends, this HAS to happen. There is no way back to 1950’s America through voting. DC is corrupt and must be nullified.
It is time. The man who wishes to be left alone has been prodded into action.
Good luck, my friends. Head on a swivel.
Stay aware and be prepared.
I don’t know when the last time we had a fair election was, if ever. But you could be right, Racer. This could open up the possibility Martial law gets declared.
But they told us that 2020 was the most secure and accurate election ever, MC.
Did I miss something?
/s
It was definitely the most secure , as in the outcome, in advance.
Don’t worry, that can’t ever happen again. The upcoming election will be fair and square.
Like I believe that , they are already softening up the battlefield with their pre election ” fortification” tactics . Haley for instance and her donors and her ” independent” primary voters and that’s just for starters .
They also said: this will only hurt for a little while, I’ll only put the tip of it in, The check is in the mail, and I had no idea any of that was going on. My office will begin an investigation immediately and I have no further comment as this matter is now under investigation. SOUND FAMILIAR???
How are they going to declare Martial Law and enforce it? They do not have the manpower. They can do maybe a state, a county for sure, a city is iffy at best too many places to hide. I don’t see it happening and I served before the military was Clintonized. When you could ask and if you did you’d better not tell. That was a good military, a cohesive military, a disciplined well trained military. I have no idea what we got now but I’m pretty sure half of it is in an Evening Gown!
¿Estás tomando el autobús a Eagle Pass para la manifestación?
I wonder if Ron said this on his own, or had to check in with his advisors and backers???
Trump, he had to clear it with Trump and soon we will see little Nikki following Trump begging for crumbs!
Hey Brian Kemp, weren’t you just in Davos a couple weeks ago?
Just checking.
He was kissing the ring Klaus wears around his cock.
Idaho jumps on the wagon:
Wow! How many more do we need for a Constitutional Convention?
Biden is not the President, he is an interloper who was installed after an election was stolen. Everything about the sham administration is treasonous and illegitimate. The Supreme Court refused to hear Texas’ argument, thereby nullifying any attempts to rectify the theft. To ask if an illegal resident installed in the White House is committing treason is to ask an inane and silly question. The entire federal government has gone off the rails and is actively working to destroy the country from within.
We have been conquered from within by a cabal of democrat and rino operatives. Until and unless those who have usurped power are forcibly removed we remain conquered.
Texas Should Nullify Supreme Court Decision

Take the marines home from Okinawa after 3/4 of a century since WWII ended, and redeploy them to the border.
And from the other 100+ nations we have military folks.
They spread them around like that because they are afraid of a military coup
The Supreme Court is now useless. Biden has ignored it rulings on stay in Mexico and student loan forgiveness with no repercussions. And the media calls Trump a dictator!
There must be a video out there of Roberts screwing kids.
Right there with all the Epstein evidence…
That was obvious from the moment of his Obamacare decision.
There was a John Roberts on an Epstein flight(s). But there are other well known John Roberts like the TV reporter. My gut says it’s the judge. But who knows? Funny he hasn’t issued a statement unless I missed it? Has any one heard of a denial?
Photos can be ‘shopped but there was one of Roberts and Epstein floating around the internet. I cannot remember where I saw it but maybe it was on the Friday Fail.
Article III guaranteed the Judicial branch would be less than useless. This country wouldn’t have lasted 20 years without massive natural resources and North European stock.
YES.
If a government doesn’t enforce laws for certain folks, but for other folks it will twist the existing ones out of shape (14th…) or make up new ones, or just throw those other folks in jail without trial….what’s the point of even calling that a government?
Here ya go:
United States Illegal Alien Crime Report
https://www.illegalaliencrimereport.com/
Where are sanctuary cities for Americans?
Everywhere…..you just may not know it….
Look for unmarked buildings,covered(blacked out) perimeter fencing with S.S.type security,”gov’t type vehicles and plates,high and tight haircuts and lots of diversity hires running things…….”they are NOT friendly/ all business…”they are NOT invisible…..to the contrary,they’re right under our noses…
what invasion in israel?
Governor Abbot is Correct
but….
But in all of this, it’s also important that Abbott creates this fight as a means to an end that results in the invasion being repelled, and that it is done so in a manner legally consistent with the power he’s been granted by the Constitution and that those actions are properly defended by the AG of Texas. Picking a big standoff with the feds, to merely establish that we can put up razor wire in a few localities, which will only push illegal aliens to cross in other parts of Texas, or to cut through the wire, only to still eventually be released into the interior of the United States won’t get the job done. I’ll defend Abbott in this process because Biden and the feds can pound sand, but Abbott owes it to Texans to pick this standoff not just because the optics will make him look good, but because winning the standoff will make the lives of Texans measurably better as a results of finally taking a stand and repelling the invasion on our border. The fight isn’t to that point yet. Abbott needs to expand the scope of actions to get the fight to that point. More to be done.

Oh,you mean he should do that FIRST!….I agree…..and THEN what…
This is the same Supreme Court that declared that Texas, the state, had no “standing” in the election dispute of 2020.
https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/11/texas-lawsuit-supreme-court-election-results/
This happens when Communist Democrat operatives, traitors and compromised persons are placed in high office – to facilitate the destruction of the host. FTSC.
Wrote a long screed about just that yesterday at American Thinker . it seems to me that Texas and really all the States can establish standing in that they have suffered obvious harm/ damages as a result of that Supreme Court Decision in 2020 . In what court do you file suit against the Supreme Court for its outright failure ? The jury is already in in the court of public opinion .
I believe one could make the case for treason starting day one of his sham term.
I love the talmudic twist in language
Check the rules…….
The document is called a CONSTITUTION…
Clauses are contractual language…
A sentence is a sentence,not a clause..
Sentences are inclusive,clauses are specific.
Sentences do not stand alone,the sentence before AND after are relevant to the over all thought,which would be INCOMPLETE without it!
Clauses have addresses!,sentences do not.
Its called a constitution for a reason,not a contract in the strictest sense of the word.
Always bugged the hell out of me……
YES and YES!!
Biden has been and is a traitor to the USA.
You mean his Jewish staff. Biden is an invalid.
jews can only be traitors to other jews
Phew. Happy to see VA isn’t totally retarded.
He should be impeached, tried, convicted, hung, drawn and quartered, shot, dunked in acid, and set on fire! And a red hot poker stuck up his business before we begin it all!
“Has President Biden Committed Treason & Should be Removed form Office Immediately?” Ya think?
I’ve been saying this for years. Liberal friends often ask me “why would anyone want to see Biden impeached — he’s done nothing!”. To which I always reply , “Exactly!”
Because, we as conservatives, believe in the rule of law even though the other side does not unless it is to persecute conservatives. Paxton has been fighting this all the way to the SC. When they responded with this nonsensical ruling, Abbott finally pulled out all the stops and now things get spicy.
Abbot is a Demon Wall kissing Zionist, so he can not be trusted at all.
Only if his execution will be televised…
yes.
Biden has committed Treason, and he might not even know it, considering how far gone he is mentally.
“Legally”, the Supreme Court may be correct in pointing out the presidents power but that power is being used to break our Republic. It’s what happens when traitorous scumbag pos’s control the government.
The Supreme’s don’t seem to realize what happens to them in a US completely dominated by power seeking “democrats”. They, like all of us, can be made to vanish, and under the new system it would be ‘legal’.
The question of Biden’s guilt is moot. No matter what he’s done, the DOJ will protect him because they’re all part of the Democrat family.
Oh so there really are five lights cuz your tormentors wont be happy till you are broken and kissing their rings then . Yeah fuck that . Its not moot
Migrant tells journalist: ‘Soon you’re going to know who I am’
From here:
He should be hanging by the neck for raping his daughter.
This is a trick question right? Right? Bitem began committing treason 40 years ago and continues to this day.
The question is, what is going to be done about it? Trick question as we all know the answer is, nothing…!!
Potato Joe, is a meat puppet. Arrest his handlers, trubunal them, and crucify them.
“they refuse to listen and prefer to roll around in the mud like a pig with no cares in the world”
I imagine that was how Moses felt when he saw what everyone had been up to while he was up on the mount. If only we had stone tablets to club them over the head with.
Brainfart Biden needs to be 26’d on the basis of mental incompetence from Senile Dementia.
The list of traitors who should immediately be impeached is so long it would take decades to implement. Biden, Roberts, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, Romney, Durbin, anyone on the J6 kangaroo court committee, IRS, FBI, HHS, DOJ, SEC, FDA the list goes on and on and on. We need a great reset of our government. The scale of corruption is such that we would need to shut it all down, pension all career employees, fix the influence peddling by corporations, fix the rampant fraud in our election process, and develop the framework to insure the constitution is followed moving forward before we could even think we have a government by and for the people.
