Lujan Grisham to sheriff: "I don't need a lecture on constitutionality"

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:

“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.

You have to boil a frog slowly. Heat it too fast and he jumps out. The Oompa Loompa floated this trial balloon and the reaction was too severe so the other leftists are trying to reel it back in. Had this worked the next public health crisis would be “misinformation” or “racism” and the 1st amendment would be gone as well.

Don’t just sue the arresting officer, sue Grisham and the officer personally. How can making a flagrantly unconstitutional act be considered part of one’s official duties when such acts are barred? How can a state official claim the right to act outside the US Constitution when they’d sworn an oath to uphold it. They must logically be considered personal acts, not falling under the umbrella provided for acts taken per the rights and duties of a sovereign office. Argument should also apply to any such arresting officer whether or not you correctly recall NM LEO immunity law.

I agree with her on one statement she said, “use all tools at their disposal” to solve the issues. The issue is that she is not using a tool “at their disposal”, she is creating whole new tools, which are ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

What part of this does this idiot not understand?!?

Where are the New Mexican residences? Why aren’t they marching on the State Capital demanding this woman either rescind this ILLEGAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL order or RESIGN IMMEDIATELY?!?
