Lujan Grisham to sheriff: "I don't need a lecture on constitutionality"
Hot Air ^ | 9/12/23 | Ed Morrissy

Posted on 09/12/2023 9:09:21 AM PDT by CFW

Oh, but you do, you do. Michelle Lujan Grisham got steamed yesterday when the Bernalillo County Sheriff declared her order suspending the US Constitution unlawful and refused to enforce the New Mexico governor’s edict to arrest people carrying firearms in an otherwise lawful manner.

Sheriff John Allen, who apparently attended a civics class or two more than Lujan Grisham, went public with his refusal yesterday, and further stated that he’d tried to warn Lujan Grisham that she didn’t have the authority to issue the order:

[snip]

“I don’t need a lecture on constitutionality from Sheriff Allen: what I need is action. What we need is for leaders to stand up for the victims of violent crime. We need law enforcement, district attorneys, public officials, school leaders and state agencies to use every single tool at their disposal to stop this violence. Period.

“We need law enforcement, district attorneys, public officials, school leaders and state agencies to use every single tool at their disposal to stop this violence.”

People who aren’t breaking the law aren’t engaging in violence.

Oh, that’s right.
You just unilaterally declared millions of your state’s citizens to be law breakers.

But wait, they’re still not breaking the law; You can’t create laws.
You’re not even in the legislative branch.

As the saying goes, you don’t make bad people harmless by making good people helpless.

Arrest her for violation of USC Title 18 Sections 241 and 242. Deprivation of Civil Rights under color of law.

Re-fund the police. De-fund the Gov.

I guess next up she issues a health emergency for criminals gone wild and then suspends the 4th and 5th amendments to make it easier to capture them.

Take away her security detail and make her pay for her own 'unarmed' security (i.e. mall cops).

““I don’t need a lecture on constitutionality from Sheriff Allen.........”

Oh yes you do love. In fact I would suggest a course in the Constitution from Hillsdale College. I suggest Hillsdale since I doubt there is a college or university in New Mexico that is competent in ‘constitutionality’, even if they can spell it.

USC Title 18 Sections 241 and 242

241 maaayyybeee if you can find that there was a second person acting in conspiracy. 242 requires the deprivation of rights to be based on status as an alien, race, creed, etc. Not applicable here.

I never thought I would be in favor of forced re-education camps.

Obviously you do.

The Sherrif is smart not to enforce this. He swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Trying to enforce this would open him up to liability given it is obviously unconstitutional.

I suspect this is a trial balloon. If she can pull this off, every blue state Dem and Biden will try.

If I recall correctly, New Mexico no longer offers LEO’s immunity from actions on duty. Citizens can sue officers if they violate a citizens rights during interactions. I doubt there will be any officer enforce her order, they could be sued.

“who is speaking up in favor of this power grab?”

Arizona Democrats on Twitter applauded her. No names of course.
