IMHO, this is all way beyond allowing any court to dictate what's next but that's me and Abbott probably knows he needs to go through a "correct" and legal process. The Rubicon has been crossed, afaic, and Texas needs to take control of all of their border. Whether the other states will have the stones to go down that road is questionable but any reasonable person with two brain cells to rub together knows this. To allow the feds any control of that border is like depending on someone who tried to kill you to save your life. To hell with that. BTW, are you a lawyer?
Your sig really interests me:
"When Sombart says: "Capitalism is born from the money-loan", I should like to add to this: Capitalism actually exists only in the money-loan;" - Theodor Fritsch
I would love to see a thread on this and the definition of capitalism. I tend to agree with your sig so really don't like the use of the term associated with liberty/freedom. I don't see any relationship.
I sent you a PM about "capitalism" and how I view it, and my posts here about that.

On-topic to this thread, there are developments...
-----------------------------------------------
The situation in the United States is rapidly escalating due to the migration crisis in the south of the country. Serious military and civilian forces are being sent to Texas, which defied Washington and took the defense of the border with Mexico into its own hands.
The governors of 25 states supported the Texas authorities, promising to provide the necessary assistance. 12 states sent their National Guard troops to help Texas in the fight against migrants and Washington. The first columns with reinforcements have already arrived.
The allies reportedly sent 72 M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 48 M109 self-propelled howitzers, more than 400 Humvees and up to 30 Abrams tanks. All this equipment reinforced the large forces of Texas.
Forces of the Texas National Guard has already arrived in the town of El Paso, located on the border with Mexico. Meanwhile, videos of trains reportedly carrying M1A1 Abrams tanks, M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and specialized vehicles to the border are circulating online.
Hundreds of thousands of truckers and volunteers are joining the columns of the National Guard, while the #Texit is actively spreading on social networks.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that armored vehicles would be used to protect the border from illegal immigration. He also said that the Texas National Guard is ready for possible military intervention by the federal forces.
The federal government has not confirmed that it is planning a military intervention in Texas. However, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security claimed that the U.S. government would take measures to protect the border
Amid the political escalation, reports have emerged about the alleged transfer of armored units of the US Army ground forces to Texas to participate in some scheduled exercises in the state. According to various reports, the US army is transferring reinforcement to the recalcitrant state under the cover of military exercises in order to prepare for military operations against local authorities. However, at the moment there is no confirmation of reports of the exercises, and it should not be excluded that they are a propaganda operation by the American media.
Anyway, the transfer of military equipment by the Texas authorities to the border with Mexico is already a very clear signal of the growing tension between the state and the federal government.
