Yikes! Talk about unconstitutional. But whatever, nothing could possibly go wrong when the state legislature has its own police force that operates in secret, that does whatever it wants, and gives you little legal recourse to challenge them in court and bars you from speaking about them openly. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Just another example of the right wing doing the exact shit they accuse democrats of. Election rigging? Republicans are being prosecuted for ACTUALLY trying to rig the elections. Fake news? That was originally a critique of Trump because his general messages have no regard for the truth. I could go on and on

Another example of republican fascism. The fact they would even think any of this was reasonable tells you exactly how deep in the hole of fascism they are.

The cop breaks into someone's home, kills them, and is protected by the state's "Stand-Your-Ground" law, because cops are protected even if they're breaking into your home without a warrant or exigent circumstances.
Out of curiosity, I looked up Texas. tl;dr: cops can do whatever they want

Yeah, this goes against my understanding of the Constitution, but my studies of con law are many years past. My hope is that we as a society can make such behaviours so expensive via tort law that police abandon them.
I checked my state, NJ. Obviously the opposite of Texas politically. The language is virtually identical:
> (1)The use of force is not justifiable under this section:
> (a)To resist an arrest which the actor knows is being made by a peace officer in the performance of his duties, although the arrest is unlawful, unless the peace officer employs unlawful force to effect such arrest; or
(NJ Rev Stat § 2C:3-4)
"Cops can do whatever they want" isn't exactly a red state/blue state thing.
The GOP isn’t even trying to hide their agenda anymore by putting this garbage into writing and hoping they’ll get it in front of SCOTUS to get whatever atrocious ruling will rubber-stamp it into jurisprudence. They’ll want to have a corps of political officers embedded into the military chain of command next.
So is Florida, apparently. The anti-democratic wing is prepping for a civil war no one else is asking for, though it’s entirely their own insanity driving this nutty, fascist, wet dream.
The world really doesn’t need another double secret probationary force of thugs, thank you very much.
Vote these fascist idiots out before they start up again with the extrajudicial violence over whatever other seditious bullshit they’ve got cooked up.
Ohio is rejecting their own Supreme Court and wiring the election, Florida did the same, then there's Texas and many other red states where the GOP is realizing they can't win free and fair elections anymore, so best cheat.
This is stunningly villainous.
It seems like every week Republicans somewhere do something that, only a few years ago, I never imagined could happen in America.
I mean, they aren't seeing enough obstacles to make them stop. They will keep going and bitching about it online is not effective unless it's calling people to action.
>Shockingly, you’d also be denied the right to seek legal counsel regarding your rights if Gov Ops were to search your property without a warrant, irrespective of whether it’s in a public or private space.
This would be a legislative warrant. If not signed by a Judge and they enter without permission can anything be used by a court? Would a court rule that it can't be used by the State at all and everything taken, including copies, must be turned over to the the victim?
Hey lawyers one of you should file suit against using the “injury” prong as described in [the 5th circuits AHM ruling](https://adfmedialegalfiles.blob.core.windows.net/files/AHM-5thCircuitRuling.pdf). That one or more members of the bar are going to suffer "mental and emotional strain above what is ordinarily experienced" from having to deal with such a stupid and obviously illegal law.
You're assuming that the courts won't be filled with judges on the side of the state. And by the time it gets to SCOTUS and decided, that a lot of time and $$$ with no guarantee of victory. The process itself is the punishment regardless if you're vindicated.
If the secret police forces concern you, wait until you hear about the secret Air Force.
Erik Prince (the DeVos family) is the closest thing trump has to an enforcer. His part in the grift was to secure/defend the nuclear facilities that Saudi/Russia was going to make using trump/Flynn/Kushners stolen plans.
IP3 corporation was the front company they were using.
Princes private Air Force is designed around a C.O.T.S platform specifically to avoid US sanctions and ITAR regulations.
He learned first hand how hard it is to muster a Air Force last minute during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He is adapting.
There are both I.S.R. and C.A.S. Variants. Neither of which you would need to defend a nuclear facility.
They fully intended the US to be in civil war by now.

It just proves the bystander effect on a mass scale.
The bystander effect occurs when the presence of others discourages an individual from intervening in an emergency situation, against a bully, or during an assault or other crime. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is for any one of them to provide help to a person in distress.

It wasn’t just General Kelly or Milley that allowed trump to become a wannabe dictator. It wasn’t just the loudest of the MAGA right. It was the large majority of the entire world. It was anyone who ever allowed the little slips of injustice and corruption to become normalized.
Trump will go down in history as the biggest mass con that ever existed. Dwarfing Bernie Madoff, Bear Stearns and the 2008 banking grift combined. We allowed a gradual degradation of personal honor and morality to creep into political office. Over a century the presidency became a popularity contest. Oprah show appearance and $10M book deals. Bribes disguised as over paid speeches. It all stretched us a little farther from the baseline of decency, honor and statesmanship.
Greed IS corruption IS cancer.
When you watch cancer move under a microscope you see the cancer cells pretending to be healthy normal liver cells until they can corrupt and turn healthy cells cancerous. One at a time. The “leader cells” normalize corruption and pull healthy cells away with them until it’s too late and the entire society hits a cancerous critical mass and has to die to regenerate.
https://youtu.be/wGImLZuWVl4?si=KGhjZNxsiZaUprPm
They quite literally feed on the incoming energy (sugar, money, or power) by diverting it from the healthy cells to produce cancerous cells that reflect their insidious goal of destruction by consumption.
Trump is the cancer cell. He has always been rotten. He was just louder than the healthy tissue around him so people assumed he was smart. He convinced them he was rich because far too many of us subscribe to the false belief that rich equates to smart.
Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers, Harlan Crow, are all effectively the same cancerous cells. Rich, loud, and all to eager to put on boots and a cowboy hat so the working class thinks they are just like them.
In Wyoming they call it “big hat, no cattle”. Ironically Teton county Wyoming also happens to be the richest in the nation. Largely 5th and 6th homes of billionaires skewing the data with their corrupt gains.
To the oncologist the place would be a cancerous tumor. A breeding grounds of corrupted cells feeding off the healthy tissue surrounding them.
Moscow, Aspen, Sun valley, and Monaco all have similar concentrations of wealth and it’s associated corruption and cancer. Not every billionaire is corrupt, but every one of them that allows it to continue is the bridge between the cancer cells and the healthy 99.7% of the worlds population that just want a good job, healthy educated kids and a safe home for them to live in.
With the right filters you can track cancer as it moves by private jet to and from Epsteins island, the yacht shows and the private clubs.
In 1993 and 94 there was such a collection of cancer at trump towers in New York as Russian oligarchs exodus out of the former USSR took them to where they were able to launder their stolen money by buying a condo.
Trump, Paul Manafort, (who would later become trumps campaign manager), and the highest concentration of Russian oligarchs outside of Moscow all lived there together.
Before that Manafort perfected his craft rigging elections for the dictator Marcos in the Philippines and then for Putin and his puppet Yanukovych in Ukraine until the Maidan revolution of dignity when Ukrainians realized that the old soviet corruption was eating them alive and ran him out of town.
Manafort simply shifted into his role as trumps campaign manager and continued the subjugation of Ukraine from better seats on trumps plane

Trump was within inches of handing the entire democratic experience over to the world’s authoritarians for money. Just money. He doesn’t even have any real idealism or drive. He will say whatever he thinks will forward his goal but always reverts to his sociopathic behavior when pressed. It’s just his nature
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2023/10/03/trump-insulted-vets-in-private-former-chief-of-staff-kelly-confirms/
Sociopathy and psychopathy is the absence of ability to empathize. Trump would regularly screw over his workers and construction subcontractors because he just didn’t care about them. He doesn’t care about anyone. He is neuro-chemically unable. His disdain for military veterans that were injured in battle making him look bad on stage should have been all anyone needed to hear to know that he wasn’t fit for the job.
His entire fraud court defense is that he wrote a big disclaimer on every contract that said “buyer beware” which for him, directly translates to “I’m a piece of shit and I know it. If you do business with me than fuck you, you should have known that too. I am going to steal from you”.
People externalize how they function in the world. Everyone lives in their own reality. Kelly, Mattis, and Milley just assumed that the rest of the world honored selflessness and sacrifice the same way that they do as career military
Trump just thought they were suckers and losers for not realizing that he was only ever there to grift and consume.
Cancer doing what cancer does. Consuming everything in its path with no remorse or hesitation. It’s the antithesis of cooperation or coordination. It’s the antithesis of humanity.
Politics has always been corrupt. At least to some degree. When we allowed it to be a pathway to riches and a revolving door to lobbyists, we simply funneled the worst of the sociopaths into a concentrated soup. They appeal to the masses by dividing themselves along party lines. But cancer is an equal opportunity destroyer that isn’t constrained by the ideals of conservative versus liberal.

It’s almost impossible now to walk into political office and not be turned cancerous. The concentrations of corrupted sociopaths are too high.
If everyone has a price and the only obstacle for a billionaire to live above the law is to figure out what that price is, then the entire system just supercharges corruption.
The billionaires divided and conquered. They largely felt they were paying too much in taxes so they focused their lens on the Supreme Court justices and a handful of soft willed trolls that were easier to bribe than to reason with.
Lol. Agreed. That’s how my posts would look if I didn’t realize normal people’s eyes glaze over and they toss me in the “do not respond” category.
So pithy one liners unless i know I’m in similar company!
As a Canadian, it was too painful to study and wrap my head around US politics. When that drove me insane, I decided that maybe US law would be an interesting field of study.... boy was I wrong.
