At the ratifying conventions in the states, the advocates of the new Constitution were met with skepticism. They worried that the federal government being created in this compact of the states called the Constitution would not limit itself to the few and defined powers delegated to it by the states via the document. The skeptics in most states prevailed upon their delegations to ratify the original Constitution on the condition that a Bill of Rights be rapidly added to the Constitution.
Interestingly, almost every state that listed suggestions for the list of the rights to be protected put what would become the Tenth Amendment first on their list.
Another interesting aspect of the Bill of Rights is how the Ninth Amendment came into being. The advocates of the new Constitution argued that putting a limited list of rights on the Constitution might be dangerous because people in the future would think that if a right were not listed in the Bill of Rights, it was acceptable to violate it.
The Ninth Amendment was crafted as a solution to that problem. It reads: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
The Ninth Amendment clearly links the republican principles laid out in the Declaration - “that all men are . . . endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”
No law – including the supreme law, our Constitutions – if not enforced, though, if not enforced. We are in the dire straits we are in, today because our Constitution and Bill of Rights has been repeatedly violated by the feds with no one stopping them. That is why I created this group, Texas Constitutional Enforcement.
But, let’s take this time to celebrate what those American framers did so many years ago in creating a framework that sought to secure for us, their posterity, the blessings of liberty. And may we resolve to restore it and pass it down to our posterity.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I consider those two words to be inseparably linked. I don’t think you can be happy unless you are grateful for the good things in life.
Going further, the source of most of the current unhappiness that is ripping our state and union apart is that so many people focus on their grievances, instead of their blessings.
The framers wrote in the Declaration about certain unalienable rights among which was the pursuit of happiness. It is not an accident that the pictured framer who was out fighting in the field while the Declaration was being written and signed, proclaimed the first Thanksgiving in his first year in the office of president.
George Washington understood that the key to the pursuit of happiness is an attitude of gratitude. In other words, the successful way to pursue happiness is to focus on your blessings, not your grievances.
The root cause of most of our political problems, today, is that broken, miserable, lost people that have fallen into a downward spiral of always focusing on the negative are trying to bring the rest of us into their misery.
These people are on a mission to make sure that those of us who focus on and work toward the positives in life are stopped by psychological manipulation using the tools of fear and guilt, or if necessary brute force to keep us from exercising our natural, unalienable rights to pursue happiness.
I am grateful for much. In the political realm, I am grateful for our heritage of liberty and the example of the framers who had the courage to change the things they could, the patience to accept the things they couldn’t, and the wisdom to know the difference. I am grateful for their attitude of gratitude.
I am grateful to them for writing the Declaration of Independence, thereby giving us a document that tells us the mission and moral grounding of our governments. I am grateful for written constitutions that that they created at the state and federal level that sought to bind governments down to secure our rights.
And I am grateful that, although the window is rapidly contracting, we still have the freedom and power to stop those unhappy people who are using all their power and skill to try to ruin the happiness of the rest of us.

At kitchen table after kitchen table, in bedroom after bedroom, in significant numbers, Texans are choosing life and liberty over their jobs.
Texas businesses are in a bind. If they follow unconstitutional, illegal orders from the feds, enough employees will go Galt so that the businesses will not be able to provide the services or products they offer to the public. (You think we have supply shortages now? Just let this federal tyranny stand.)
Our military contractors will not be able to produce the weapons our armed services need. If businesses side with their employees on the side of medical liberty and their employees' unalienable natural rights to decline vaccination and bodily autonomy, the feds say they will hurt the businesses.
Texas business should join forces with their employees to fight against this federal tyranny.
And our governor and Texas Legislature need to protect the people and businesses of Texas from this destruction of our liberty and economy.
That's what they were hired to do, right? That's the purpose of government right? To secure these rights.

He times his announcement to make it easier for those redistricting to carve up his Northeast Texas district. (Recall that Joe Straus created this district for him during redistricting in 2012 to take out the conservative Wayne Christian.)
Recall that his home county GOP (Harrison) recently censured him for multiple betrayals of the priorities and platform of the GOP.
In this most recent session, Paddie was responsible for killing the RPT priority of ending tax funded lobbying, and he backed Dustin Burrows and the speaker in their bid to protect the governor from executive overreach legislation.
He also refused to hear the all-hazards grid protection bill of Senator Bob Hall (and Matt Shaheen).
He also refused to hear the flagship legislation of this group, the Texas Sovereignty Act.

The only place we have initiative in Texas is the ability to petition for the modification of city charters. It is a powerful tool for self government that can be used for liberty and transparent government.
If you have played in or watched the power struggles over city charter amendments in Texas, you know that the cronies and ideologues who control our cities DO NOT like city charter changes by the citizenry, and the use LOTS of tricky tricks to try to thwart the process.
Here is the story of one more power player, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, doing everything he can to maintain his power and thwart the will of the citizenry.
The article comes from a UH Law School classmate of mine, Jared Najver. Jared specializes in election law and constitutional law. He is a great attorney to consider if you have one of those issues, especially if you live in the greater Houston area. (Although he represents people all over Texas.)

... View MoreAnother day, another 20 violations of the Constitution by the feds.
This is a decree by the Center for Disease Control, no less, that the contracts of renters with property owners be violated.
How many ways does this violate the Constitution? At least three by my count:
1) Violation of separation of powers
2) Lack of an enumerated power. The states did not delegate this power to the feds in Article I, Section 8
3) Article I, Section 10 explicitly prohibits States from "impairing the Obligation of Contracts." Clearly, the framers did not think government should impair the obligation of contracts, agreeing that no state in the Union should do so. And since the power to do so was not delegated to the feds, NO government is authorized to do so under the U.S. Constitution.
This quote from the article is especially rich:
"At the same time, Biden said that he isn't sure if the new moratorium would pass constitutional muster and expects legal challenges, but he said that some scholars he consulted think "it's worth the effort."
"I've sought out constitutional scholars to determine what is the best possibility that would come from executive action of the CDC's judgment. What could they do that was most likely to pass muster, constitutionally? The bulk of the constitutional scholarship says that it's not likely to pass constitutional muster, number one. But there are several key scholars who think that it may and it's worth the effort," he said."
In other words, the goal of the "constitutional scholars" that Biden consults with is to gut the Constitution.
Since evictions are implemented at the county level, all that is necessary to make the feds impotent in this supreme-lawbreaking is persuade your local judiciary and county sheriiff to follow James Madison's advice - refuse to assist the feds.
