When the Kenyan king was on the throne, it was the other way around. The Kenyan administration was suing the states. Sessions needs to wake up and get with the program.
Leftists are good with federal coercion, just not when it is done to make them obey the law of the land.
A Real Man of integrity in charge of the Department of Justice would respond with Grand Jury Indictments and Handcuffs for these quisling elected officials for the Multiple FELONIES they Are Admittedly Committing.
Trump continues to MAGA - liberals have now discovered the 10th Ammendment (although it doesn’t apply here).
What about ALL THOSE YEARS where the Feds threatened to withhold money from states that didn’t enforce 55MPH (and they actually put out Fed spies on overpasses, too). What about twisting the arms or state legistaltures to set the drinking age to 21 or lose EVEN MORE federal money? Was that before the 10th Amendment was ratified or something?
Well, we don't have Hillary and that's a biggie. I guess I should brace myself for Gorsuch possibly hitting the skids.
Oh what a load of bull. Sorry but we DO have a right to enforce our immigration laws. You cannot try to establish a rogue city and ignore the laws of this country all the while suing us for actually enforcing consequences to you BREAKING THE LAW?
It’s time for a show of force.
Once again the communists block puts President Trump in a hole. Now what? Unless this crap is stopped cold, America will never recover.

Seattle will no doubt win too.
Domestic Enemies.
Funny, it was fine when the Democrats withheld Federal highway funds to get states to comply with the 55mph speed limit.
The moonbat city of Seattle should be more concerned with a North Korean ICBM being launched in their direction.
Good- lose even more money Seattle lol- spend millions losing- then lose millions in federal grants to boot- please- make our day!
It is obvious that the objective for these Lefties is to register more Democratic voters. It is easy to register these non-citizens because all that is required is a state I.D. or a driver’s license. Both do not require a birth certificate to prove citizenship. And, they have so badmouthed the Republicans as racists, these non-citizens will get their ballots in the mail and vote straight ticket Democrat.
Seattle needs illegals to build their light rail since they are losing money they counted on for inflated license plate tabs.
Can’t wait to read this suit.
Prove that city governments have a legal right to federal funds.
There is no right they can cite.
Prove local governments can force federal government to provide them money when they are deliberately violating federal law.
There is no proof. There is no right.
The article says these monies are "grants," not allocated funds from a Congressional budget.
As grants, aren't they totally discretionary from the Justice Department? DoJ can choose which agencies to award grants and which one to not, correct?
I don't see how a judge can compel the Department of Justice to "grant" money to a specific agency, otherwise it is no longer a grant. If a judge converts a grant into a budgetary funding, then it is encroaching on both Executive and Congressional powers.
