It is not only the courts, but the politicians who are afraid to raise the issue. In AZ Russell Pearce led a tough struggle in the AZ legislature to pass a law requiring more definitive proof that future candidates for the Presidency met Constitutional requirements re eligibility in order to appear on the state ballot. Governor Jan Brewer vetoed it. I understand that another attempt will be made based on Arpaio's findings. We will see, but I doubt the ruling elite will allow such challenges. They are afraid of the consequences.
Call it the Rodney King Effect. A word in 2007 would certainly have spared us the present agony. In re Governor Brewer: certainly no new laws are required to have states' AsG do their jobs and vet candidates. It just so happens they do this all the time!
That seems to be the consensus, but perhaps a false one. If what could be a false premise is repeated enough, enough people will believe it, no?
I say kick the buzzard out and dare anyone to riot. Now that's a meme I can relate to.
I am ready to maintain the peace in my neighborhood and that is all that's required of anyone.
After all, how many residents do you think are needed to police their neighborhood? Not many, I'll bet. Where there's a will and a 12 gauge, there is a way.
Just sign up at the Sheriff's office and get your special deputy badges and a handful of shells. Let's give our Sheriff's the support they need to carry out their duly authorized and constitutional duty to keep the peace.
They will be over-joyed having all the extra help. Plenty of well-qualified veterans to fill the ranks.
So to the rioters, I would say, bring it on and don't forget to BYOBB.
Now, doesn't that sound more hopeful and empowering than the message of fear?
They’re all afraid of the wrong thing.
They should be scared s***less of the consequences of continuing to cover for the silent revolution. They’re basically acting as accessories after the fact.
