Recall that Greg Casar got his political start long ago in a Travis County City Council race against Dr. Laura Pressley. Pressley filed an election challenge against Casar, claiming that electronic cheating was involved in his victory. The Dem courts threw her challenge out without hearing it and sanctioned her. It took the Texas Supreme Court to overturn her punishment for seeking truth and justice in our judiciary, and she never had any court actually consider her evidence.

Excellent! Learned a lot by reading this. Since I care about the history of the balance of power between states and the feds, I find fascinating. My summary of the situation re Jackson's defiant quote re Marshall is that Georgia had convicted Samuel Worcester for violating Georgia law respecting Cherokee property rights. Marshall's SCOTUS in Worcester v Georgia had declared the Georgia law invalid, claiming only the feds could deal with Indians. The opinion expected Georgia to let Worcester out of prison. Jackson was saying he would not back up Marshall if Georgia did not comply with Marshall's opinion. Ultimately, Georgia did release Worcester. No action by the federal executive was needed to back SCOTUS up. I think Jackson's statement was more a statement of the relationship between the presidency and the federal judiciary, more than a defense of state power visa-vis the feds.

@charliekirk11 It occurs to me that this article is still timely.

I have searched my Constitution, looking for authorization of an "independent" executive agency and cannot find such. I do find the first sentence of Art II, Sec 1: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Steve Deace has said that we are really a nation of will. I am betting that Trump's will will prevail here. I don't thing the Supreme Court will tell Trump he can't fire this bureaucrat, but if they do, I bet he will follow Andrew Jackson's lead and ignore them.

I presume you are talking about With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by the character played here, Eugene Sledge. I have not read his observation of the war in the Pacific. Sledge did go on to graduate from Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now called Auburn), then got a PhD and became a professor of biology.

@GregAbbott_TX If we get the feds to compensate Texas, I want every penny applied to move us toward elimination of maintenance & operation school property taxes.

@politiyogini @houston_cf Rule 44 requires that censures start at the county level, so you also need to find your county GOP website to find your chair and precinct chairs which makeup the county executive committee.

@politiyogini @houston_cf Link to current SREC of RPT:

@politiyogini Jefferson (and I) agree.

The key to liberating ourselves from this Uniparty blight is to make sure the GOP primary voter has enough info to see the Uniparty gaslighting for what it is. The standard procedure for the swamp is to throw lots of money at deceptive messaging to the GOP primary voters. We have to effectively counter that by properly funding our challengers and organizing the grassroots to systematically deliver the truth to their disengaged GOP-voting neighbors.

@Anc_Aesthetics

Under the RPT Rule 44, a censurable act is something, "in opposition to the core principles of the Republican Party of Texas defined in the Preamble of the Party Platform . . . or to the Legislative Priorities . . ." DEI, given its opposition to equal protection under the law is a violation of the Texas and US Constitutions. RPT Principle 1 demands support for the Constitutions and Principle 4 requires limiting government to those items enumerated in the Constitutions, so I think enabling DEI is a censurable act under Rule 44. I don't see DEI as something that made it into the priorities.
