(38,881 posts)Can't just instantly "start over." That would look not just dictatorial, it actually would be dictatorial. No current Texas governor or statehouse is going to do anything about people's constitutional right to be in "associations" unless the current Oathkeepers of TX are indicted for crimes, and even then, all these kinds of members would not be indicted, anyway.
If there's a list available to the public, then go from there. I haven't seen a single list from any news report about allegedly existing databases.
Have you seen a list of Oathkeeper member names? So until there's publicly provided evidence, I don't see why anyone should take an undocumented news report as factual, anyway.
Seriously. We do have a problem with self-declared anti-government groups, but they can't just be done away with, without due process. Even Beto can't make Oathkeepers go away. Some day it might happen that a Republican majority somewhere declares the Democratic Party a terrorist organization. Would that give them the right to round up all Democrats in their jurisdiction and indict them?
