Shortly after the Civil War and the passage of the 14th Amendment, the US Supreme Court decided the Slaughter-House cases. Historically, many people have looked at these decisions as severely limiting the ability of the federal government and federal courts from interfering with state government functions by using the Privileges and Immunities clause of the 14th Amendment. Regardless of your position on that debate, this article looks at how the decision by Justice Miller in 1873 actually provides a strong precedent for using the Privileges and Immunities clause of the 14th Amendment against all sanctuary states, counties, and cities.
Privileges and Immunities of all United States citizens
Privileges and Immunities of all United States citizens
Having shown that the privileges and immunities relied on in the argument are those which belong to citizens of the States as such, and that they are left to the State governments for security and protection, and not by this article placed under the special care of the Federal government, we may hold ourselves excused from defining the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States which no State can abridge, until some case involving those privileges may make it necessary to do so.
In laymans terms, Justice Miller was saying that states and cities have a wide latitude to regulate their internal affairs such as where to allow Slaughter-Houses to be setup around New Orleans. He leaves open the issue as to what Privileges and Immunities all citizens of the United States have that cant be infringed upon by the State. Using the analogy of a Members Only Recreation Club, this paper lays out a strong case for privileges that the Founders and writers of the 14th Amendment would have presumed to be obvious.

Supreme Court precedents or existing law does not stop liberal office holders, prosecutors and the liberal judge activists from doing whatever they please. Drug and immigration laws are ignored and violated routinely. Even public health measures such as clearing rat and disease invested trash, travel restrictions to prevent the spread of diseases such as ebola, tuberculosis and paralysis inducing adenoviruses are ignored or not enforced if they do bot adhere to their destructive, leftist narrative. Decent people have to come to realize they are dealing with lunatics.
This is too hard for me to comprehend but seems to me the present SCOTUS can overturn that decision as easily as they can and hopefully will overturn Roe v Wade.
The Chief Justice is the wild card in the deal.
Laws on paper will not stop their treason.
Argument seems to reason an appropriate set of conditions since if I was walking in one of these sanctuary cities, I would consider myself in a potential slaughterhouse. People have a right to petition.
He’s replaced Kennedy. If Ginsburg gets gone, sooner rather than later, and Barrett gets on there, I think it’s a completely different ballgame. And the Left sure as hell knows it. That’s why Ginsburg will be in that courtroom on life support if they need her to.
Based on an article I read Ginsburg recently I’m not convinced that a woman like her can bounce back from lung cancer surgery, barely able to keep her head up, can’t stay awake for the SOTU speech and then all of a sudden, she’s darting to her seat and asking all sorts of questions. I guess the found the Fountain of Youth for her or maybe she swimming in that pool, in the movie, Cocoon.
I hear hemp makes the best rope, just sayin...
