Speaking of trespassing, typically trespassing carries up to six months in a county jail or as previously mentioned, up to a year if carrying a deadly weapon. Any person in Lumberton or anywhere else whether an individual or a business, can have the police warning a person not to come back and if they do, file charges. The law does not require the police to witness such a warning but it gives a little more credibility if the police were there when the warning was given. A City ordinance is a fine only.

Trespassing requires that a person has been given “notice “ not to trespass. But… Texas law defines what qualifies as a notice. Obviously if someone tells you to leave, that is notice. It is also notice if someone putd up a sign that says, get off my lawn!! However, so is purple paint on trees marking a property line, fencing that is obviously intended to exclude intruders, fencing that obviously is intended to hold cattle or merely crops ready for harvest with no fencing or sign, etc. Just as an example, lets say you are carrying a rifle which is legal but you cut across a watermelon patch with some melons ready to be picked. That is up to a year in jail for trespassing with a deadly weapon because you were given notice But, just being on someone’s property without permission is not trespassing unless the person has been given a warning like the ones listed.

Calvin Walker loses (I believe) his last appeal in Texas
tvc184 replied to tvc184's topic in Local Headlines
It seems like I remember when Dick DeGuerin took one of Walker’s cases (maybe the state case for which he was convicted), DeGuerin claimed that Walker was out of money and DeGuerin was taking the case pro bono or for free. -
True. It is a conflict of rational policy and buying votes. I saw a comment on Facebook noting that Biden had promised to end student debt when he entered office. The comment queried if he was concerned about student debt, why did he wait for more than a year and a half? It is obviously because in January 2020, he had no need to buy votes. I can understand the conflict in his timing, he was busy the first week ending 93 million acres of offshore oil exploration by executive order.

The crash from a couple of months ago that wrecked several vehicles and sent several people to the hospital, finally got to the grand jury and an indictment was returned. I guess money couldn’t buy his was out of this step as so many people claimed would happen. I am sure that he will be offered a plea deal and will likely accept something but that is just a guess [Hidden Content]

Missouri school reinstated corporal punishment
tvc184 replied to 5GallonBucket's topic in Political Forum
That isn’t only with punishment or school but with any endeavor. Incentives, whether positive or negative, is almost always the determining factor in behavior. Therein lies the reason that social programs generally don’t work. Obviously some programs are life savers for some motivated people (going back to incentivizes) but for a substantial percentage of people, it is a justification to fail or never strive to improve. in my opinion…… -
I believe that he has exhausted all of his appeals in Texas. He can appeal to the 5th Circuit Court in New Orleans, one step below the Supreme Court. To do so I think he has to raise a federal law or US Constitution issue. [Hidden Content]

Is there anything there other than slot machines? I think the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Texas law which bans poker, roulette, blackjack, etc.

Yes, that is absolutely what I am saying. Time will tell but looking at prior SCOTUS cases, I don’t see that the federal government has a dog in the hunt. They certainly can’t claim Indian is offensive unless they change many of their own laws. The feds will have a tough sell when their main US Government advocate/organization for Indians is the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

I think you were making kind of an apples versus oranges argument. SCOTUS decisions aren’t that simple…. as I noted in the previous comment.

I believe you will find that the reasoning is flawed by SCOTUS rulings. In the case you mentioned, it was SD which brought suit that went to SCOTUS (South Dakota v. Dole 1987) In that case that led to the withholding of highway funds, SCOTUS listed five requirements to make it lawful. 1. The spending must promote the “general” welfare” (highway deaths). 2. It must not be ambiguous. 3. The condition should relate "to the federal interest in particular national projects or programs." 4. The condition imposed on thec state (citizens) must not be in itself unconstitutional (1st Amendment). 5. The condition must not be “coercive” (gee, no coercion there). I think a school name is clearly coercive, it clearly violates the First Amendment, it’s ambiguous and if you’re certainly not in the furtherance of a specific federal program. Drinking was. Then in 1992 in NY v. US, SCOTUS in a 6-3 decision ruled that the federal government again used the Commerce Clause and it to away states’ rights under the 10th Amendment. Looking at those Supreme Court rulings, there is a huge difference between drinking age and highway fatalities under the authority of the commerce clause and a national highway safety program and a school name and the First Amendment.

Buildings don’t have rights. The people working and going to class inside of them certainly do.

Not arguing but a serious question. Under what constitutional authority could the US government be involved? Will the 1st, 10th and 14th Amendments come into play, especially the 10th and 14th?
