Texas Governor Rick Perry will join libertarian Cable News talker and Constitutional scholar Judge Andrew Napolitano for a forum on States Rights next Monday. The event will be held in Plano (north of Dallas).

From the Texas Conservative Coalition:

The Tenth Amendment Town Hall hosted by the Texas Conservative Coalition, the conservative caucus of the Texas Legislature, will be a forum to explore solutions both to restoring the constitutional rights of the State of Texas and its people, and to rolling back the growing power and influence of the federal government.

The Town Hall will feature a stirring keynote address from Judge Andrew Napolitano (author and Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst), as well as comments by nationally-prominent constitutional scholars and conservative state legislators, including Representatives Phil King, Bryan Hughes, Ken Paxton, Wayne Christian. Governor Rick Perry and Attorney General Greg Abbott will also participate in this event, as will State Supreme Court Justice Don R. Willett. Other speakers include grassroots leaders Ken Emanuelson, Greg Holloway, and Dan Morenoff.

The Town Hall will feature three panel discussions:

•State Actions to Restore the Tenth Amendment
•Requiring Congress to Balance the Budget
•Nullification: What it means, and is it an option for states?

Napolitano, who has a regular libertarian show on Fox News weekend, has praised libertarian-conservative Perry in the past for his pro-state autonomy stance.

Appearing on the Joe Paggs show out of Houston, on KTRH back in November, Napolitano made the following comments:

"Governor Perry is right. Half of what the federal government does is not justified by the US Constitution."
