Does that include preventing caravan people from having their immigration hearing, because PKTUS is ordering a lot of soldiers to do exactly that. Not their fault, they are following his orders. You want to charge them with treason?

Now if we could get some Police Chiefs to stop enforcing those rediculous drug laws.

He's not taking delegated power. He's just protecting undocumented guns from being taken away by creating a sanctuary city.

I think we all have the choice to question a law but we also run the risk of criminal persecution for not following the laws.



It was the reverse in my state when a new system to process gun licenses came into being, handed down from the gun/Right restricting Lefty elected. We had Police Chiefs denying and restricting licenses to new gun owners and others that have had their licenses for decades having their license to carry down graded for no other reason than the Chief thinking the person didn't need a certain type of gun or they didn't need to carry it on their person for protection. It was a real mess and individuals were forced to go the courts for resolution and prove that they were not a risk.
THIS is why I tell people NOT to comply with these evil laws. They can't take it, at least without getting hurt, if you DON'T give it to them.

The Constitution tells the local level to ensure a republican form of government. If that means flipping the bird to and defying despotic higher levels of government that oppose a republican form of government, then so be it.

Well if the Founders thought DC should have all of that power to do that, then I believe they wasted time and lives fighting the American Revolution. We could have stayed with Britain and kept the same policies.

Well, then the Police Chief should wait and let that happen. His job is not to interpret Constitutional Law, his job is to enforce laws.

If the voters of Washington state approved an initiative saying it was OK in their state to kidnap black people off the street, put chains on them, and force them to work in their fields for meager housing and board and no pay...

... should the police refuse to enforce that new law too? Or should they go along with it?

I seem to recall a Constitutional amendment or two that say something about that too.

Is all we need to justify violating a Constitutional amendment, 51% of a vote?
