That may be the legal nub of the matter,
but I’m thinking this has more to do with
“we’re fedup with the fedgov”.
Agreed.
As much as I dislike and despise FedZilla, I believe you are correct in this situation.
Just like our Founding Fathers when they wrote and executed on the Declaration in Independence, they wanted to make sure what they were doing was right and as legal as possible, and not based on emotional response. For the same reasons our Founding Fathers took the time to make sure what they were doing were righteous in all ways possible, I believe it is important for us to do the same and examine each situation appropriately.
It’s amazing how quickly my opinion on this story has done a 180. At this point, it might not matter who the feds were picking or why.
