Wonderful piece. And I agree with Richard--while my focus was on whether this Texas deployment is an allowable use of federal funds, a more pertinent question is "should we be doing this?" And Richard is certainly correct that there are more constructive ways to battle drug trafficking.

Richard, I’m pleased my column played a small part in inspiring yours. Great lesson from Governor Ray about wisdom and restraint. We sure do miss him, although I suspect today’s GOP would run right over him for being too soft, or caring too much about immigrants, or getting along with Democrats.
