AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry, the longest-serving governor in Texas history, turned himself in amid the cheers of supporters at the Travis County Courthouse on Tuesday to face two felony counts of abuse of power.

He was not a contrite defendant.

“I believe in the rule of law,” he told the crowd. “We will prevail.,”

Perry, a Republican who is considering a run for president in 2016, has vehemently denounced the charges in televised press conferences and through his legal team. He is expected to make a statement Tuesday.   Continue reading “Texas Gov. Perry turns himself in on felony charges”

DALLAS, Texas — It is one of those sci-fi collides with real life moments like in “The Giver,” Lois Lowry’s dystopian novel where freedoms are traded in for the public safety, only here it’s the Dallas City Council and it’s a “free speech ban” in the City of Dallas that’s allegedly for the public’s own good. Overpasses For America (OFA), a non-partisan grassroots group, is challenging the constitutionality of that ban in federal court.

On August 13th, Sr. Trial Counsel Erin Mersino from the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) and Texas co-counsel, Jerad Najvar, filed the OFA civil rights action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.   Continue reading “Dallas Bans Free Speech, Overpasses For America Sues”

MISSION, Texas (AP) — On a recent moonlit night, Border Patrol agents began rounding up eight immigrants hiding in and around a canal near the Rio Grande. A state trooper soon arrived to help. Then out of the darkness emerged seven more armed men in fatigues.

Agents assumed the camouflaged crew that joined in pulling the immigrants from the canal’s milky green waters was a tactical unit from the Texas Department of Public Safety. Only later did they learn that the men belonged to the Texas Militia, a group that dresses like a SWAT team and carries weapons but has no law-enforcement training or authority of any kind.   Continue reading “Militias complicate situation on Texas border”

After White House officials reportedly met with big-business groups, President Barack Obama is considering executive actions that will give them more guest-worker visas in the high-tech and low-skilled sectors.

This may come on top of Obama’s potential grants of amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants in the country. While outside groups are urging Obama to “go big,” Senate Democrats have expressed some concerns of late, as poll numbers have shown that executive amnesty may cost them control of the Senate. The White House is reportedly reaching out to big-business groups on guest-worker visas so they can give Obama air cover on his potential executive amnesty.   Continue reading “Report: After WH Meets with Big Biz, Obama May Use Exec Actions to Increase Guest-Worker Visas”

From 13th Century Latin justus Old English justice, Old French justise meaning “LAWS, RIGHT of LAW- the exercise of legal authority in vindication of ancient Imperial (Roman) rights and precepts by assigning reward or punishment”.

The word was formed upon the claims of the Roman Cult Popes to have in their possession “untampered” ancient legal documents from Constantinople such as the Codex Justinian and earlier which (apart from several extraordinary anomolies) also claimed the Catholic Church to be “above the law”–hence the ultimate origin of the word Justice = forged laws of Justin and Emperors = Church above the law.   Continue reading “Justice”
