I have been waiting for something like this for a long time

There is some spunk, and some legal knowledge, still left somewhere in the Republic. The following bill was introduced into the Texas legislature yesterday. The bill explicitly references my two favorite amendments, X and IX.

Those of you who have read EMPHYRIO by Jack Vance, particularly the scene where Amiante the woodcarver, relying on the antique charter of Ambroy, violates the regulations of the Welfare Agency, will know how this will end.

In the meanwhile, all you Texans, write your representative to support this bill. You can track its progress here. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=81R&Bill=HCR50
