Because of dual sovereignty, both the state and the federal government could prosecute an individual for the same underlying act, if the act violated both a federal and a state law. Which is good reason enough to try to avoid federal and state laws having overlapping scopes.

But if NY currently doesn’t permit criminal prosecution of an individual who violates a NY state law who has been tried for the corresponding federal offense, and NY then changes that to permit such a double prosecution, I’d think that would only apply to future acts, or at least to individuals tried at the federal level in the future. If it applied to people previously prosecuted, how would that not violate the Constitution’s ban on ex post facto laws?

That’s not a real human being, is it??? You’re pilling my leg.

What they used to do in two bit tin horn totalitarian dictatorships - change the law to punish the Democrats’ political enemies.

Ostensibly the proposed change in the law is facially neutral but in reality its intended to eliminate legal protections for unpopular people.

It used to be those kind of things couldn’t happen in America. Now we learn that’s possible and its frightening to contemplate.

That you will be prosecuted again after you have paid your debt to society and served your time for the same crime.
Talk about unAmerican.

If you have not seen “2016: Obama’s America” you can rent it from Netflex.....with mid-terms coming up, it might be a good thing to jog memories of just what Obama tried to do and he, Michelle, Valerie Jarrett etc. are still trying to do to fundamentally change America.

Starbucks has exposed what Obama and Co. put in place...The Thought Police...telling us what to think. Colleges and universities have been exceptionally successful at this, especially under Obama.

And yet, the inept NY GOP will still not be able to defeat this or any other commie run by the DemocRats.

Upstate NY, lots of good people.

NYC? It is a harder environment. The very thought of living there, makes me want to shudder.

But some people seem to like it. Somehow.

[Texas Fossil]

True That. All of it.

[Texas Fossil]

Thanks for the clear description of the legality. I’m not a lawyer.

But once had a Harvard Law graduate for a son-in-law. Is that as effective as staying at a Holiday Inn Express? smile hee hee hee

[Texas Fossil]

Well said. The Left will not like it if that happens. It will ruin their gaming.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes cleaning out the Federal Judicial chicken house is a nasty job. That project will take more than 1 terms to accomplish, possibly more than 2 terms.

That brings us to the problem with the 9th Circus. That is a knock it down and rebuild project.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, Soros has.

And he has done it in foreign nations too. Some of them really hate him for it.

When he is gone, many will breath a sigh of relief. In sprite of the young offspring he has.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, I’m afraid they are that goofy.

Unfortunately.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, it is that bad. But there are still sane people left, at least in the nation’s heartland.

This is a big task that is undertaken. Not a short term fix.

Although Trump has already done much that they said could not be done.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, the Judicial Department has been totally corrupted and weaponized beyond belief.

More of the cleanup of that will come.

[Texas Fossil]

Ugh

That is hard to take in one dose.

[Texas Fossil]

Ouch

[Texas Fossil]

I’d normally quickly agree. However with this bunch, they are past any normal pattern.

Full Blown ComDem Insanity.

[Texas Fossil]

Well, they are snaky enough to pull such a stunt.

Impeach a Federal Judge?

[Texas Fossil]

If they do, it will be past fixing by ballot box.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, it is. And everyone knows it, but they continue to do this insane stuff.
