The rumblings within the states against overbearing federal interference is making its mark. Texas has laid down a gauntlet. Governor Perry is backing the resolution affirming Texas Sovereignty under the 10th Amendment. This signifies to me the way in which written constitutions can unravel and the unravelling will be strongest in Texas.
Once the former Governor of Queensland, Australia, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen (a man of Danish background) said this, concerning the sacking of the federal premier Gough Whitlam. "What I say is this! First it's God, then the Queen, then Queensland, then Australia!" Gough Whitlam wasn't given much credence. Something similar could be said of Texas. "What we say is this! First it's God, then Texas!" Washington may have to think more carefully.
