MSG Billy Brumfield - I know what you mean. Sometimes I post something I think is dynamite... and it goes nowhere, sometimes I post something I think silly... and I get a huge response. Our membership is fickled.
maybe you should put a few more tags on this post? Off the bat I can think of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Gen Z or what whatever this your lady is. Is Facebook a tag... maybe that? It will get you a bigger audience while being factual and honest.

SFC (Join to see) - They'll remove the tags, not allowed to put other tags on a post that's tagged "Political Humor and Opinions." It might draw too big an audience.

MSG Billy Brumfield - Thanks for my afternoon chuckle. :)

MSG Billy Brumfield - "not allowed to put other tags on a post that's tagged Political Humor and Opinions." That communism too.

She's talking about this basically. The entire paragraph, the highlighted part was highlighted for someone else in a different conversation.

MSG Billy Brumfield - And?
Our Constitution is meant to be taken in it's entirety.
What is her point?

MSG Stan Hutchison - Her point is that the federal government, under President Biden, is not protecting the states from invasion. I have no doubt that she is literally correct. I have some doubt that she is legally correct. I think that is a SCOTUS level decision that needs to be made sooner, rather than later.

From the link:
"The American history of the term “invasion” reveals that its literal meaning is entry plus enmity: Entry alone, which is trespass, is not sufficient to constitute an invasion.

Although the Framers occasionally used “invade” in a metaphorical sense, we know that in the Compact Clause they used the word in its literal sense, because that clause’s ancestor text in the Articles of Confederation refers to invasion “by enemies.”

Past non-state actors, like pirates and barbarians, fell under the category of “invaders” in the opinion of certain American statesmen, such as Madison.

Present-day non-state actors, like cartel-affiliated gangs operating within the territory of a U.S. state, may fall under the category of invaders, provided their criminal activity reaches a scale or degree of organization that deliberately overthrows or curtails the lawful sovereignty of the state.

Maj John Bell - Thank you for the precise response.
