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.

It just not Clinton, OB/Biden, its all of them. You have Bush and even Trump judges doing the same thing. Its clear there is a major problem with separation of powers being ignored, without penalty we see from a “Republican Congress”, and that has to be fixed.. one way or another.
As we see daily, once a .GOV branch or agency gets power, they want more and more. Thats how all .GOVS work.Trump should give the SCOTUS one chance to correct this to what the constitution allows. If they refuse then fuck it all up. Divide the country now or let loose the dogs and the winner gets to choose.
If Trump actually does what he has mentioned a couple times lately about using the military against illegals something like the south border military zones, that WILL light the lefts fuse and we will see just how far they will go and if the right will respond or if not AGAIN they will sentence their children to race extinction because being called names is too mean for them to fight back….

Since this story is about .GOV don’t give a fuck.
For all the Repubtards voters out there. Texas, the “alledged” bastion of the right and Repubtards,yes that Texas has a UK style anti meme law they are about to pass. No More funny/evil memes about pols or .GOV and broad and vague enough as usual to expand as far as they want. BUT DON’T WORRY, it’s just to protect Democracy and the Constitution you know….
And yet the right still wont get the truth about what this country has become.
Dam , I’m gonna become a morning drinker now….

A Trump-appointed judge just ruled against his use of the alien enemies act, narrowing the definition of enemy beyond what the law prescribes.
Meanwhile, on topic, power really is all that has ever mattered. We were able to maintain the illusion of a lawful order only to the extent that we were unified. Today’s hyperdivision is also deceptive: there is a huge, confused middle that is mostly afraid to speak and tentatively chooses a side because they are afraid to be separated from the herd and don’t know what else to do. This situation ends very badly for one of the camps. IMHO, the Left looks completely unhinged, literally insane. The country would be better off if they cured themselves…
