Word 

The Texas governor has justified putting up a river-spanning border fence under the pretext of an "invasion" that threatens the state.  The Federal government in a court brief says it is no such thing and asked the judges to order it removed.  An invasion, the Feds say,  "is 'armed hostility from another political entity, such as another state or foreign country that is intending to overthrow the state’s government.'"  Besides, the Feds add, security of borders is a Federal responsibility.  It is up to the court to parse the word and clarify its meaning.  The betting is on the Fed's interpretation.
