Well, he admits it. Whether or not he meant to admit it is another thing. Disgraceful...

In what might be Tucker Carlson's finest hour, he nailed New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to the wall with one simple question. "By what authority do you nullify the Bill of Rights?" he asked in response to the governor's decision to arrest and charge fifteen men worshipping in a synagogue in violation of his executive order. Murphy dodged the question three times and refused to answer, other than to say the question is "above my paygrade" and "I wasn't thinking of the Bill of Rights when we did this." You're kidding?
America is quickly devolving into an unrecognizable police state where we are being told our unalienable rights are completely disposable in a time of crisis. This is simply not what "shall not be infringed" means by any stretch of the imagination. We have been shut down indefinitely, kept away from our houses of worship with no end in sight and given constantly moving goalposts based on spotty numbers by experts no one elected to dog catcher, let alone sole authority over Americans' civil liberties.

Indeed and therein is the problem.
I hate that expression. It reminds me of that rat Obama. I wish everyone would stop using it. I don’t remember it being used before him.
The person who said it might have been Joe Biden, but I'm not sure.
I guess he knows he’ll never be president.
Since he is the Governor of NJ, a subsidiary of NY, he should call Fredo’s brother and inquire what and how he should think about that delema!!!!
If an average NJ citizen were to say:
“paying NJ taxes is above my pay grade...”
I wonder how that would play.
He never thought about the Bill of Rights? Didn’t this nimrod take an oath to protect the Constitution? What did he think that meant? Were those just words, a mere formality, that allowed him to get political power and further his career goals? This **** needs to stop.
Excellent comment and absolutely savage! >:D
North Jersey is a subsidiary of NYC; South Jersey is a subsidiary of Philly.
Originally the colony was divided east and west; the Dutch were in the east (part of the original New Netherland settlement), the Swedes (and later, Quakers) were in the west.
That’s a knockout!
I hate that expression.
You might want to express which one.
Liquor stores are essential. Advise from addict counselors. Without the addicts getting alcohol there will. be mental breakdowns.
“I hate that expression. It reminds me of that rat Obama. I wish everyone would stop using it. I don’t remember it being used before him.”
Verified 1831: performed duties above his grade.
No lawyer, no professional politician should be allowed to run for office. EVER.
I told the county treasurer last week that a politician is the most abhorable whore in human history. They make prostitutes look like ice cream vendors.
This has been going on for decades as Congress gave unelected bureaucrats the power to create “rules” with the weight of law.
gov doesn’t even understand his own emergency powers.
I think it was Biden berating a witness during the hearings onIraq and WMDs.
He’s right - it is above his paygrade. The People are his boss and it’s at their paygrade. Let’s see what they do with it.
It’s above his IQ.
