"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
When are we sheeple going to get tired enough of judges ruling us that we do something to change this? Whatever happened to Lincoln's "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" when a judge can throw out what the people have voted for? This is not a republic, but a dictatorship of unelected judges appointed by presidents, and we suffer their rulings for decades after the presidents who appointed them have left office. This must change.
The ruling is flawed. No tenant has the "right" to force his tenancy on others, regardless of education and employment opportunities. An immigrant has no "right" to even be in the USA. It is a privilege... a privilege I would extend to more immigrants than some of your ... but still a privilege.
On the other hand, the property owner does have the "right" to do what he wants with his own property. Unfortunately, the ruling is based on penumbra seen by other judges in the past 50 years that has set precedents for this judge to do something not based in the constitution, nor in the principles of the constitution.
Don't tell me... Munley's a Toon appointee, ain't he?
I do not like this particular ordinance. It's Big Brotherism at its worst. It's one thing to forbid renting to illegal aliens, but to require every damn renter to register with the city is on a par with requiring every firearms owner to register with the police.
Thomas I. Vanaskie (Chief Judge) (Scranton) (nominated by William J. Clinton in 1994; appointed Chief Judge in 1999); A. Richard Caputo (Scranton) (nominated by William J. Clinton in 1997); James M. Munley (Scranton) (nominated by William J. Clinton in 1998);
Well, for all those who have decided to "punish" Republicans and stay home on Nov 7th, you can expect more of the same.
These federal judges need to be removed immediately from office, placed under arrest and prosecuted and then impeached for not carrying out their sworn promise to defend the Constitution and federal law.
Simply enforcing existing occupancy codes would have a significant effect.
The federal government refuses to enforce the immigration laws. As a consequence, towns and cities are overrun with illegals and the attendant strain on schools, police, and infrastructure. In an attempt to protect themselves towns pass laws intended to discourage illegals from residing there. A federal judge rules the town must protect residents' access to homes, education, jobs and businesses. What the hell is going on in this country?
Elected representatives are just quaint arcane windowdressings, existing to give cover to our unelected elitist law-givers.
