Massive Trucker Convoy Is Headed to Eagle Pass, Texas

Twenty-six states are now using Confederate Theory of Secession, claiming Joe Biden has broken the compact and they want Republican governors across the country to escalate their conflict with the Biden administration over the southern border by invoking the same legal theory which slave states wielded to justify secession before the Civil War.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, joined by twenty-five other GOP governors, now argues that the Biden administration has violated the federal government’s “compact” with the states—an abdication which justifies state usurpation of federal authority.

Consider the very first line of a statement Abbott issued on Wednesday which was subsequently backed by the other Republican governors, which stated, “The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the states.” That language is strikingly similar to the very first line of the secession ordinances passed by slave states when they purposed to leave the union.
