Will check it out post haste.

Actually, I was thinking of simple abandonment and letting Mexico have at it.

Alternatively, Congress could pass some legislation giving Mexico standing to bring a special proceeding in a New York Court, use its power to restrict the appellate power of the SCOTUS by denying it any say on the issue, and allow the realist New York ‘Jet-Set-Justices’ have a bit of revenge for the recent 2nd Circuit ruling on rights of passengers in airports…

Just caught this today looking through John Dean’s columns….

P.S.

I posted a partial reply back in Hamster alley about an hour ago.

I usually check that email account once a day; probably around 10 or 11 pm.

BTW, I extended the invite assuming you’re an attorney; what’s more, an attorney who doesn’t believe in ‘relaxing the rules’ when counsel engages in litigation tactics that holds both the opposing counsel as well as the court in contempt.

Regardless, I think you’ll find it interesting.

I think you have an asportation requirement to move them some distance. If you are giving back Texas,I want it on record that here in Virginia, we do not necessarily want West Virginia back. Sorry for the joke in bad taste, but it’s a statewide hoary tradition to insult our former territory.

Well, if Texas wants so much to be an ‘independent state’, damn near not subject to the equal footing doctrine, as a resident of one of the 13 original colonies I say we make Texas a permanently independent republic of the United States and give it back to Mexico.

Except for the blues bars in Austin and the steak houses in Dallas of course.

Doesn’t the brandishing of a gun while forcing someone to stay in one place invoke common law kidnapping?

Agreed–unless you’re charged down there!
