In a high-stakes case for cities and counties nationwide, a federal judge on Friday will hear arguments from Santa Clara County to block President Donald Trump’s executive order stripping so-called sanctuary jurisdictions of federal funding.
If Santa Clara County’s landmark motion for a preliminary injunction is granted, it would stop the section of the executive order applying to sanctuary jurisdictions from going into effect until the court rules on the county’s Feb. 3 lawsuit against the Trump Administration. The lawsuit has since been joined by dozens of cities and counties across the nation, questioning the constitutionality of withholding federal funds.

Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. ___ (2012), was a United States Supreme Court case involving Arizona's S.B. 1070, a state law intended to increase the powers of local law enforcement who wished to enforce federal immigration laws. At issue is whether the law usurps the federal government's authority to regulate immigration laws and enforcement.
Expedite all these cases directly to SCOTUS. Also, move to impeach all judges not following the Constitution. That will make Libs run or become Martyrs.
I’m thankful Gorsuch is now on the USSC. I don’t think lawfare is going to work as well for the RATs as they had hoped. They might get some short term wins but in the end they will be overturned...unless Roberts goes rogue on us again, of course.
Gee I wonder how the judge will rule. This is becoming a joke
He’s got Gorsuch Confirmed. Now’s the Time to start telling judges to GFThemselves.
This judge probably wrote his opinion last week.
None of the arguments in the article explain how these jurisdictions are allowed to break the law without consequences. But I am sure this Judge will rule they can anyway.
This is becoming a joke

Laughable at first, then tiresome, and now intolerable.
But I am sure this Judge will rule they can anyway.

The political views of one person now negate the duly enacted legislation and laws passed by the representatives elected by millions of people. How is this a democracy?
This judge was nominated by Obozo
Hack in a black robe
IIRC, there is a law on the books, approved by then DOJ head Loretta Lynch, and signed into law by Obama that would withhold funds from “Sanctuary” cities/counties/states. While Trump appears to be the target of this lawsuit, by withholding funds, Trump is just implementing the law, which is what he is supposed to do.
San Francisco judge. Figures.
I agree, but I think that the Trump administration needs to get organized, and spur the creation of an ACLU counterpoint organization that could file similar actions, but somewhere outside of the 9th Circuit. Many of these issues will make it to the SCOTUS, and I am confident of what they will do once it gets there, but why not set it in motion in a friendlier circuit? Almost an inoculation, so-to-speak. Anticipate what they will argue, beat them to the punch by filing in AL, for example. The case makes it to the SC ultimately, but can be framed differently because it rose up from friendlier and more sensible courts below. The 9th Circuit is a nuthouse, avoid it.
I guess this is one time they can say “Hey were a Republic not a Democracy” and mean it.
How about just enforcing existing law and ARRESTING the mayors, judges, councilmen, police chiefs, and ANYBODY in violation of the EXISTING LAW!

I'd love to see the White House and Congress ignore any injunction and create a constitutional crisis. Our judiciary was set up to be an "equal" branch of government - not a superior one. If anything, Congress and the President, our elected representatives, are the preeminent branches of our government. It's high time Congress put the courts in their place.
They question the constitutionality of withholding federal funds, I question the constitutionality of the federal funds.
Hack in black, huh.
Withholding funds...It’ll fall into that “unreasonable” category.
Get rid of Ginsberg and the other idiots libs on SCOTUS and watch the libs go nuts.
