A warning shot is being fired to partisan mayors all across America...

[Chgogal]

Excellent.

[Cubs Fan]

Good for them. It’s time to stop just taking it and fight back.

[OKSooner]

Yes. Cleveland take notice.

[Paulie]

I wish I had a sliver of faith left in our criminal justice system.

Still, I hope this has legs.

[Logical me]

Police not doing their jobs protecting and the route cause is the politicians in those cities. It will end with the people taking charge and taking the rioters on if no change by cities.

Trump for President.

[billyboy15]

If successful these suits will cause property taxes to soar and result in these elected and appointed officials to be tossed out by outraged citizens.

[RightGeek]

Good

[Genoa]

GOOD! But you know they’ll say it’s Trump’s fault. “Hateful rhetoric.”

[Psalm 144]

Excellent. Beat the litigious left with their own weapons, HELL yeah!

In Houston, the Islam-loving mayor is cozy with the MSA. They activated to get the GOP Chaplain fired for grabbing a mic and stating that Islam is incompatible with the Constitution at a precinct chair meeting. MSA brats went to City Hall and demanded the resignation of this staffer for a council member. It is ironic to me to hear Newt on Fox saying exactly what the chaplain said. They ended up terminating the guy, only 2 Republicans backed the guy up.

[Tupelo]

Great idea.
Just wondering though, where will they find a court to accet the suit? My guess is, they will be turned down for the reason most of us do not understand.
Lack of Standing.

A very useful “community organizing” tactic Obama and his DOJ would use in this case.

Declare a “civil rights” investigation of the San Jose Police, and mayor.

Use the threat of that to force political and administrative changes that benefit Obama’s ideological allies in that area.

Use same “settlement” for funding of one’s allies.

I believe this is a so-called Bivens action that goes directly at the individuals. Our side should make much more frequent use of Bivens suits.

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit suggests offended parties might make use of Bivens actions. This makes the gov't offender personally liable for damages. From the link:

• a Bivens suit is a personal suit against the official, and punitive damages are recoverable.
• Since a Bivens action is brought against a federal official in the official’s personal capacity, it is not considered to be an action against the United States and therefore is not barred by sovereign immunity.
• Procedurally, a plaintiff is entitled to a jury trial in a Bivens action
• Qualified immunity applies to federal officials and agents who perform discretionary functions, but may be overcome by a showing that their conduct violated a constitutional right.

[FR_addict]

About time!

[ZULU]

Excellent INDEED.

[FreedomPoster]

Excellent news bump. It is past time to use lawfare against the Left.

[Genoa]

I wonder if the lady with egg in her hair is a plaintiff. You know they’ll try to say “she was asking for it.”

[notdownwidems]

This is great! Next go after ‘sanctuary cities’ where the illegals kill rob and rape due to the lax/no enforcement of the law

[Signalman]

Sue those commie bastards!

[mad_as_he$$]

If it is a federal suit it has a shot; state not so much.
