File Under "No Shit, Sherlock"

Governor of Texas to allow Minuteman vigil at border

Texas Gov. Rick Perry rejected a request by a Hispanic state senator to block plans by Minuteman Project volunteers to begin border patrols in October, saying no elected official has the authority to prevent "law-abiding citizens from traveling to, from or within this state."


That has to be the biggest no-brainer I've heard in a long time. I think it's pretty fucking sad that any elected official in this country would actually need to be told that.
