Kansas tells Holder to stick it, full letter at link

[MrB]

I like it. No punches pulled, basically called Holder a criminal with no authority to be telling anyone else anything.

[RobbyS]

the states, it seems to my, could use this model to interpose their authority between the people and the feds very effectively in a wide rage of activities.

With respect to his concern that federal officials be allowed to enforce federal laws, Mr. Holder’s statement is a curious one. He was evidently not concerned that ATFE officials be allowed to enforce federal law when his agency oversaw the “fast and furious” operation to walk guns into the hands of Mexican cartels.

Well, yeah, but I'm sure those cartels contributed millions of dollars to President You Didn't Build That's reelection campaign, so it was okay.

Hopefully Sheriff Arpaio will go to Kansas, arrest this man, bring him to AZ and have him sentenced to a minimum of 4 years as Governor.

[Secret Agent Man]

Wish our governor and atty general would write an identical letter.

Great link
I am betting on Kansas

has any other admin been so hell bent on suing and interferring with states rights?

[dfwgator]

Kansas to Holder, “Get Bent.”

Holder declares SB 102 to be unconstitutional and suggests that federal officials will disregard it.

I was under the impression that another of the divided powers of the Federal Government "decides" what is Constitutional and Un-Constitutional. The Court. Now part of the Executive falsely called the "Department of Justice" thinks it does.

The only problem with the author's argument is that Supreme Court precedent is against him. In a New Deal era decision called Wickard v. Filburn, the Supreme Court ruled that wheat that was grown by a farmer for his own family's use could be regulated by the Congress under the Interstate Commerce Clause. The wheat was never sold, and so it never entered into interstate commerce. But the reasoning was that because the farmer grew the wheat for his own consumption, he did not need to buy wheat from someone else - and THAT affected interstate commerce.

So I can easily see how the courts could rule that guns made in Kansas, sold in Kansas and kept in Kansas could affect Interstate Commerce because Kansans would not need to buy from gun makers in other states - and find that those guns are subject to regulation on that basis.

This is causing quite a stir - making the gun control freaks heads explode.

Next thing ya know, eric the red holder will be trying to pull a sting on the State of Knasas, for defying his commie powers.

[Political Junkie Too]

As one of the co-authors of SB 102 and a former professor of constitutional law, I ensured that it was drafted to withstand any legal challenge.

Silly man.

Only the King can decide what will survive Constitutional challenge, and what is legal or not.

And don't presume to know that what was legal and constitutional then is legal and constitutional now.

"That was a long time ago" is the new legal yardstick to measure relevancy. People said that Obama's words came with an expiration date. Now it is codified by his spokesperson.
