U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami has ruled that Florida’s law making it illegal to enter the state as an illegal immigrant violates the Supremacy clause and is prohibiting state enforcement of the law. The states, according to her, cannot have any immigration laws because the Feds already have them.
OK. I will accept that.
That also means that the states can’t enforce any gun laws. Or drug laws. Or laws on murder, kidnapping, or any other laws. In fact, let’s just get rid of the states. Make them political subdivisions of the Federal whole.
We know that isn’t what she and the rest of the activist judiciary want. If a case making the claim that California’s gun laws violated the supremacy clause were to come before one of these judges, it would be summarily dismissed. This isn’t about the Constitution or the law. It’s about twisting things to fit your side. Note that so called sanctuary states and cities haven’t had the same treatment.
We are living in a time when the law is nothing more than a tool to be used to get what you want.

for a couple of decades now what was once called the left made the claim that within any human interaction there was always the people who had power and the people who were being oppressed by that power.
so they decided that power was the objective.
any questions ?

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

So we see branches of government arrayed against each other in irreconcilable fashion. One side clearly twisting objective law into partisan nonsense for the sake of obstruction. The people have split long ago into to hostile camps and the middle is drawn to one end or the other by necessity. The insane side sees Musk as a criminal and views Fauci as a saint. There is no talking to the other side now. Only one thing is left in the chain of events for this to play out.

Really tired of these Clinton/Obama/Biden appointed judges ruling against the people of the United States.
