I am in league with everyone else. I see it sliding to the left. About one more episode and I'm done.
Here's what really bugged me: When the Michigan governor decided to act on his own, he had every right to do so under the Constitution. To wit, Article IV, Section 4
...The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
(Clearly in the scenario of this show, the Legislature CANNOT be convened.)
The solution for those Muslims "Americans" who are being abused is to either fight back, or get out of Michigan to a more friendly state or country.
Fact is: if such a scenario were to accord as in the theme of this show (No federal congress or courts), power would by default go back to the states - provided the state(s) even DECIDED to send new representatives to an agreed place to meet.
This is good discussion to have in light of the Syrian issue possibly going nuclear (what - you think I simply read about push polls and the Trump trashing distraction daily?).
Agree. When Sutherland ordered the Michigan Governor to stand down, I shouted ‘he can’t do that! The Constitution says any powers not in the purview of the Federal Government will be under the control of the States’. Sutherland basically threatened to send in Fed police, which he cannot do if the Governor doesn’t ask. (re: Louisiana, during Katrina). My husband, who is originally from another country, wanted to know why Sutherland couldn’t overrule the Governor. People who grew up in other countries have no idea of the freedoms FROM the Federal Government, that the States are SUPPOSED to have.
