This is not civil disobedience, this is violation of the law by the individual in charge of upholding the law, and this Mayor should be arrested for this.Could be a tough sell around here. Folks seem to want to pick and choose which civil servant they excoriate for the same kinds of things.

There are philosophical differences, and then there are outright violations of written law.
There are those who call for Bush's impeachment because in their words he's not guarding our borders. That would be a tough sell in light of the fact that the borders are guarded by the Border Patrol and other agencies, so the elevated level of rhetorical chest-beating actually works against them.
Then there is this, a clear (and willful) violation of State Law by an elected official.
Jail time it should be!

Riiight. My prediction? This mayor will NOT get the Roy Moore treatment. He won't be arrested or fired. He'll be given a free pass to do what was in many ways a far clearer violation of law than what Moore did.
And that's what angers me about those who called for Moore's head - they won't be even 1/1000th as emotional in calling for this mayor's head - and they'll be mouthing about what hypocrites conservatives are the whole time. GRRRRR.
