Texas Congressman Chip Roy thinks Texas should ignore the US Supreme Court’s ruling allowing Border Patrol to resume cutting the razor wire Texas installed at the border.
“They have a duty under the Constitution … and every other norm of leadership of any sovereign state, to protect your citizens, period, full stop. There is no exception to that,” Roy told Fox News Digital. “And if the Supreme Court wants to ignore that truth, which a slim majority did, Texas still had the duty, Texas leaders still have the duty, to defend their people.”
Roy called the opinion from the court “unconscionable,” and called for the state to ignore it.
“It’s like, if someone’s breaking into your house, and the court says ‘Oh, sorry. You can’t defend yourself.’ What do you tell the court?” Roy said. “You tell the court to go to hell, you defend yourself and then figure it out later.”
