Question On The Lamb, Texas Style?

Texans refused to desert from the Alamo in 1836, and to a man, all fell in defense of what they thought to be right and proper! ?Can a man also desert his post to defend the same??

In Texas this week, the issue of redistricting resulted in a mass political exodus by one political party in order to avoid a showdown on this issue. Sought of like a filibuster in reverse (opinion)!

Well the Governor of the State (Texas) apparently looked dimly upon the move and ordered ?State (Texas) Law Officers? to retrieve (arrest if needs must) the wayward law makers from an Oklahoma Motel where they had sought sanctuary! ?And that should have been that - right??

?NO WAY JOSE!!?

The Governor of neighboring Oklahoma, considering this an armed invasion and a violation of the State?s sovereignty, built a Neo-Maginot Line of sorts, and in a move similar to one depicted in the movie ?TANK? with James Garner, drew a line in the sand!

I have heard of a lot of ways to get around an issue, but starting a ?Mini-Civil War? in order to avoid a vote is something new, at least to me! Hell, just think about it? What would happen if a President fled to Tijuana, Mexico every time he wanted to ignore Congress? We might have to set up a ?Deep Southern White House? on Constitution or Revolution Avenues, right in the midst of the Red Light District of Tijuana!

?Hell, I don?t know if the business gals of Washington DC could stand the competition?? LoL
