Do you suppose the Feds can charge the OR rat gov and Portland mayor for all repairs done to Fed property under their watch? I don't even want the OR taxpayers to pay. It should be the serving officials who bear responsibility.
Must be past my bedtime, I am dreaming.
There’s been a shortage of TP, which is all the bill for their “fine” will be useful for.
A. They are agents, not TROOPS. That use is a “hype” for the uninformed.
B. If the protective agents leave, so does the Federal Judiciary in that place. They will be relocated to a safe area within their jurisdiction. All Judges, staff, agents and PRISONERS will go.
C. If they cannot properly setup shop somewhere else, has, the FedCourt system ceased to operate normally in that jurisdiction? What are the Constitutional ramifications?
