Soon California will have “Book Burnings” where angry mobs will raid houses and stores and burn piles of Bibles, claiming that they are the a threat to freedom and prosperity.
California, becoming more fascist than Nazi Germany
In this example, although the states have given Congress the 14th Amendment power to make punitive laws to deal with state actors who abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech in this case, we're still stuck with a corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably not lift a finger to make such laws.
"14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"14th Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Also, consider that by making laws / policies that promote the constitutionally unprotected LGBT agenda, low-information state actors are unthinkingly effectively establishing politically correct LGBT people as a protected class imo. The major constitutional problem with doing so is that the Founding States made the Constitution's Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 partly to prohibit the states from establishing protected / privileged classes.
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphases added]."
The remedy …
Patriots need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.
More specifically, patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, candidates who will be willing to make punitive laws to discourage abridgment of constitutionally enumerated rights by state actors.
Patriots must then pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day so that they can start making such laws.
And until the states wake up and repeal 17A, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of the outcome of Alabama's and Pennsylvania's special elections, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud, associated MSM scare tactics, and interference from people like Soros.
Hacking Democracy - The Hack
I think it’s unconstitutional even if it doesn’t ban Bible sales.
Contemporary loiberal socialists do. Not the rest of us.
I’m trying to remember where else pseudo science was used to justify an amoral political ideology. And to silence even imprison and kill people. It will come to me. For some reason I keep thinking “socialist” was involved in the national description. And not just once.
Sure. It's only NOT ALLOWED if they are a 'white' church. If they are a 'black' church, it's OK for them to preach politics, have political meetings, invite political guest speakers, etc.
If this stands, well, if it stands long enough to gheby the 9th Circus, I wonder if it will be quickly be followed by an outlawing of most guns in California and a statewide mandatory buyback or just a requirement that all the guns of whichthe states has a record of your purchase or ownership must be turned in or you don’t get or get to keep a driver’s license or anything else that comes from government.
Even excluding the possible ban on the sale bibles aspect of this, there’s no way that law is constitutional under the 1st amendment
Science is less equal that feelings.
CALIFORNIA BANS THE KORAN!!!
I suppose that too, but I’m sure they will be given an exemption. Headshake.
In Looney Left Land in CA? Yep.
Yes, of course it is not constitutional.
But remember the 9th Circus handles the appeals.
The keep poking the stick in the momma wolverine’s mouth and they will eventually get their nuts eaten off.
If that is the outcome, the citizens exiting CA will grow in numbers to the point of destroying the tax base. (I think it is already there)
This is all ComDem Insanity.
All 3 absolutely correct.
Yes.
It is still total Insanity and totally unconstitutional.
Agree. Unless it is technical stuff to make nukes or HE.
That is covered under other legal constraints.
Well, internal borders are still open. But CA might make an exist barrier up.
A totally appropriate observation.
