If this precedent were to stand (it wont), states would be free to set their own drinking ages and speed limits, customs, educational, immigration, and health policies, drug laws, and pretty much ignore any/all other federal laws without losing federal money.
Idiot judge is an idiot.
Sometimes when you're surprised anyone could be so stupid, maybe you're the one with the wrong idea.
[8 USC 1373] (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1373)
Federal Marshals should be sent in to arrest anyone involved with "sanctuary cities"
How surprising is it that the judge was an Obama appointee?
Right… Because what are the separation of powers, the Fifth or the Tenth Amendments compared to a piece of federal code? Psh. Somebody notify the U.S. District Courts, we've got a new theory of jurisprudence!
Are you clear how many entire states, counties, cities and towns' governments you'll be rounding up and, presumably, be putting in indefinite detention in for-profit private prisons?
Why stop there? Why not round up the priests and seize the churches that offer sanctuary? What about the so-called 'American citizens' that primarily use Spanish in their day-to-day lives, should they be allowed to raise their children that way? Seem like a slippery slope to you?
Wadda you have, stock in private prisons?
Yes. Because President Obama was nothing if not the tireless champion of the little guy.
Yeah, I remember all the 10th amendment supporters on the left when Obamacare passed. And the guy before's No child left behind. Throw in common core. And a lot of other things, going all the way back to 55mph speed limits and drinking age.
The 10th amendment only gets brought out and waved around for things one side or the other supports. It's irrelevant when you oppose the idea.
Separation of powers is a thing, but not for anything coming out of the 9th Circus. maybe that's why 80% of their decisions are overturned. And for the constitutional scholar that governed by executive order.
That's why he's giving $400K speeches to Wall St. bankers he bailed out with our money. -shrug-
I'm a firm believer in checks and balances, yet I do not believe that applies here and have to agree with you. Due to the block on the travel bans, judges will be coming "out of the wood works" to challenge him an his policies.
