1. “The US Attorneys will not be able to enforce the amnesty EOs
and nationwide sheriffs can apprehend and detain illegal aliens without interference from the White House.”
There really isn’t any ‘enforcement’ necessary. The US attorneys don’t have to do a thing. Sheriffs have budgets that they have to abide by and no extra money to house and feed the illegals they detain waiting for federal officers to pick them up, which won’t happen.
It will take courage for governors of states to enforce but it should be feasible. A federal injunction order against Obama’s EOs would ensure no one can act on his EOs without risking legal liability including contempt.
A federal injunctive order can be transferred to state courts allowing sheriffs to arrest and detain federal officers who violate the federal and state orders. Although it puts federal officers in a bind and compromises federal operations, it’s worth the gamble to see that federal officers obey the law rather than illegal executive authority.
It is a form of justifiable mutiny but it would be backed by federal and state courts along with state governors and legislatures.
State mutiny against Obama could work and may be the only solution after impeachment which won’t happen even if the GOP establishment takes control of the US Senate this Fall.
