Thank you for that, Sergeant! I shall severely curtail my Trey Gowdy reporting, pending further research. But what I feared, perhaps wrongly, is that Trey had been schooled by friend Boehner in that particular shootout. In particular I was most unhappy with Trey's public statements in support of what IMNVHO, is Amnesty.

Gave states the power to enforce federal immigration law.

I take that to mean that in the absence of federal enforcement (which is the norm) the states would step in and do the job. Constitutionally, I believe that wish, admirable as it may be, is on very shaky legal ground and would not withstand a federal challenge. Cynical as I have become, I suspected that Trey knew his proposal would not pass muster and made it as a grand gesture.

I hope I am dead wrong! I surely will take another look at Trey with you. He's got a good pulpit now. He has certainly succeeded in separating his "brand" from the Republican Establishment, so let's see what gets done 2015-2016 to save the Republic. Frankly, so far all I see are missed opportunities and inopportune caving-in to the Admin.

in re ...control the politics in your neighborhood - the local village council, the county board and the schools. .... electing a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff. ... legal and armed muscle

This is perhaps one of the worst aspects of the MSM/Federal Government partnership. We focus on Washington, D.C. and national-office elections. In the meantime otherwise solid citizens cannot name their county commissioners, or school board members!

Having been elected as a selectman and JP, and having lost several schoolboard elections for which turnout averaged UNDER 20% of registered voters, I feel the pain.

“so let’s see what gets done 2015-2016 to save the Republic. Frankly, so far all I see are missed opportunities and inopportune caving-in to the Admin.”

Cool. Are you joining us or embracing president Buckwheat? My best guess is that you’d prefer to stomp marxist balls into the concrete.
