#GoodLuckWithThat some States will have Posse laws/Deputizing armed citizens to uphold the Constitution/Law
I have not heard anything about Texas looking at doing this. Has anyone heard any such nonsense?Currently, the state of Colorado is set to be the first to capitulate on allowing imposition of federal jurisdiction on the county level under the aegis of SB-13-013 already passed by the state legislature is now slated for signing by the Governor, Hickenlooper. This bill will authorize police powers of arrest within the state counties under orders of the executive branch (US President) by the Secret Service. The state of Texas, despite much conservative and independent banter by Governor, Rick Perry, is expected to review such a measure next. If Texas capitulates, this will open the floodgates to a host of southern states who have vowed not to bow to federal pressure.
Any such actions in Texas are news to me. I don't recall seeing anything of that sort in the currently proposed legislation. Several bills are just the opposite, holding state officials criminally responsible for trying to enforce federal firearms laws. Those will probably be struck down by the courts, but the sentiment is there. Certainly nothing backing the feds...JJVP wrote:RPB wrote:
