When the 2nd American Revolution comes, the black-robed Federal tyrants will be the first to face justice.
And there's the catch-22: Only the federal government can regulate immigration, and they have no intention of doing it, so everybody better STFU, learn Spanish, and get with the New World Order agenda. Between this insanity, and failure to permit increased energy supplies, and the obscene spending, it's just about time for torches and pitchforks at the DC Mall.
AP continues to get the story wrong. The ordinance passed by the Council was thrown out. The ordinance voted on by the public has not yet taken effect, and the court refused to decide whether it’s constitutional until it’s effective and someone sues.
Is this the supremacy clause (VI. 2)?
I thought the headline meant “renting immigrants” like, for a day - use them and return them to Mexico.
LOL
I'm confused on two points.
1. It looks to me like the city's primary role was in regulating real estate rentals, which is a traditional role of local government. I wonder if this precedent will apply to other cities that are discussing regulating CO2 emissions (will these cities limit how long athletic teams can practice based on CO2 exhaled, or can teams get around the rules if they buy carbon credits and pay other residents for couch potato services? ), since under this reasoning such regulations would be unconstitutional because the EPA is responsible for air quality ... nevermind ... regulating CO2 is liberal intervention, so it's okay with this sort of judge.
2. When has an activist judge ever shied away from creatively drafting laws from the bench? Oh, right. Making the law on rentals work would have the effect of promoting the conservative position that immigration law should be followed, not an outcome favored by liberal judges.
Pathetic. Liberal or conservative, judges should enforce the laws as written, subject to the restriction that the laws must comply with a strict reading of the federal constitution and where appropriate the state constitution.
>> “Texas town’s immigrant-renting rule is struck down” <<
That’s funny... all over Texas, you can rent a slave for about $1.20 an hour.
A little honesty, Senors Bush, McCain and Mahony: that’s what we’re talking about with H-2B visas: rent-a-slaves.
No, the supremacy law works the other way. Allow me to translate:
The Constitution, federal laws (made according to the Constitution), and treaties (made under the authority of the United States) are the Supreme Law of the land. Judges within the states must respect that fact, regardless of whatever the laws of their own states say.
How curious. I asked myself, "Gosh, aren't there some instances where an action violates both a state or local and a Federal law? If Mr. Judge's ruling is accurate, then this should not be possible. And all these lower-jurisdiction laws should be struck down. Right?
So I looked around for 15 seconds and found this:
"Often a particular criminal behavior will violate both a state and a federal law; the most frequently charged crimes that fall under both jurisdictions involve controlled substance violations (drug crimes) and drug conspiracy."
I get it. Laws a District judge doesn't like violate the Supremacy Clause. Maybe he thinks it's a judicial supremacy clause.
Given the entrenchment of the liberal establishment, it will more likely be a civil war. There is a need for further realignment and simple strategizing. I'm the nut that keeps asking to find out who/where I can help out in the effort, because the slow bleed is agonizing. I'm also the nut who plans to vote for B.O. as I hope to accelerate the process. By my thinkin' we're long overdue for a "conversation" on race (and other certain topics). I can think of several different categories of organization for the war effort i.e. deprogramming savable libtards, database maintenence of rejects, on and on. Of course, since the Lord loves Truth and Faith, our side will win.
Spiritually, I work on my heart so that the process will be a reluctant, tough-love, duty, rather than a fervent joy i.e. I know I should be a Disciple rather than a Zealot.
So by the same logic, neither a state or a local cop has any legal authority to make a drug arrest?
Cool.
P.S. Where do they find these idiots?
Well I got my torch *and* a pitchfork.
We the people need to start exercising our second amendment rights and learning lessons from our forefathers when they wrote the Declaration of Independance.
This Government no longer works to secure our freedoms and provide for our defense.
