Gov: A Case Study Of Ethical Dilemmas

Superior Essays
What frustrates me the most is Gov. Greg Abbott who was the Attorney General and Ken Paxton go sue in Federal court when the Obama administration violates the sovereignty of the state. To me this is an exercise in futility. It is just the same as keep reminding the wheel is still round and passing resolution after resolution in the Texas Legislator is trying to reinvent the wheel. To me as I see it. it is a waste of time and money going into Federal court. While waiting for a day in court. The Federal government abuses the people and infringes on the state with impunity.

Why go into Federal court? It is like asking a pack of wolves to keep the foxes out of the hen-house. A farmer would not waste time pleading with a pack of wolves. It is a

With a court ruling in the favor of state 's rights. The governor can now instruct the State police and the Sheriffs the power to arrest Federal agents who come to violate the law with deadly force if necessary. To arrest Mayors, police chiefs who accept Federal grant money to carry out Agenda 21, grab people 's guns or anyone sworn officer or local bureaucrat who violates the court order carrying out the feds decrees. The law is there, just enforce it.

The Governor can also demand the NGOs who are in contract with city and county government. The contract is null and void if the NGO is an unregistered foreign agent. The law is on the books or it is meaningless unless it is carried

The BLM turned tail and ran because they would not withstand a head on fight with armed citizens. When push comes to shove and we are ready to use deadly force to defend our land. We win because the Feds are like bullies when confronted with equal or greater force. They stand down if the risk was high they might get shot and killed. Imagine the State Police in a stand-off with the BLM at the Red River in north Texas. The BLM would back down because not only the force of the State troopers. But I know an armed citizenry would back them up. The Feds are outnumbered just like at the Bundy

    Should powers like these rest in the hands of the federal government or does it belong to the states? According to Larson, “fearing consolidation at the hands of distant elites, or jealous of local advantages, most congressmen refused to vest that authority [for a national system of internal improvements] in the president or any other agents who might injure their interests at home.” (384) Adam only feeds into this fear of a strong federal…

    After reading the whole case of James v. Boise I have just one major concern. I sometimes get worried that the federal government has too much power of the states.

    I do feel that the main issue is that Congress did not feel that they have total control as they would like to. The United States is one nation and we should all be working together and allowing the states to have control would mean that lower government would feel like they have more of a say so in their state rather than just being a face. In the future if this situation came up for any other issues like civil rights, environment, or economic conduct then this would be depending upon the situation. As long as no state infringes against a person’s unalienable rights, then the states should have say…

    The fourteenth amendment according to dictionary.com is “an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, defining national citizenship and forbidding the states to restrict the basic rights of citizens or other persons”. To my housemate, Tara, she didn’t even know what the fourteenth amendment was, but when asked how she defined equality she said “fairness”. To my mom the fourteenth amendment was having “the same rights regardless of sex or race”. Listing the variety of different meanings of the fourteenth amendment and/or equality takes a great part in cases that have happened recently for example, Fisher v. University of Texas. The plaintiff claimed that her fourteenth amendment right was violated when denied admission into the school…

    Recently, there has been an argument in the State of Texas about the power of the State and the local governments. This argument had raised up after Gregg Abbott warned about the “Californization” of Texas, and in follow passing laws that limited the power of local governments on issues like fracking in their cities. These arguments are similar to those that are for the powers for the State versus Federal government. Hence, there are lots of arguments for and against the local control, and on the other hand, it is hypocritical for the state government to impose its will on the policies.…

    The United States Constitution is one of the shortest, longest standing, and most ambiguous constitutions in the world. This document establishes a democratic republic of many states under one federal government. In outlining the responsibilities and powers of each branch of the government and how they relate to state governments, many questions are left unanswered. Though this constitution outlines legislation’s role fairly clearly, it is far too vague concerning executive and judicial roles and the relationship between state and federal government.…

    This coercive federalism has happened more than often in the past and looks like it will happen more in the future as well. Not only are these regulations imposed on the states by the federal government, but they are levied on the states with the use of leverage in the form of threats to defend other federally funded programs in use by the states. These new policies are not just forced on the states are also not even funded by the federal government. For example, when the federal Americans with disabilities act was passed that required street curbs to be accessible to wheelchairs, the federal government did not provide the funds to pay for the curbs. The states and local government were left with the…

    In 1776 the Continental Congress convened with the idea of creating a new and independent nation. This nation would give freedoms and liberties to all people regardless of gender, race, creed, or nationality. It is this basis that our nation was founded on, but recently politicians have been attempting to remove some of the freedoms our forefathers fought and died to have and to protect. Throughout the last several years the American federal government has continued to slowly remove the freedoms of American citizens in small increments. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 removed the freedom of privacy from law abiding citizens of the United States.…
