. . . "Minnesota Governor Walz declared his state at war with the federal government over immigration law. He even threatened to mobilize the national guard. Walz isn’t the only governor defying federal authority. He’s just the only one dumb enough to make such an outright declaration." . . ..

| Uncle Paul's Parodies |
"At this point, it is beyond debate – we the people are losing our grip on the reigns of self-governance. Congress passes bills without reading them. Judges use “interpretation” to invalidate our electoral choices. Federal law enforcement applies criminal law in ways never intended. This is not how a representative republic is supposed to operate.
"Sir Isaac Newton’s 3rd law applies every bit as much to politics as it does to physics. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” As applied to our republic, when the federal government stops behaving as intended, so do we.
"Our executive branch has decided that protecting Constitutional liberties is optional. It has used social media to curtail free speech, law enforcement to surveil religious observance, and regulatory overreach to infringe on our property rights and right to bear arms.
"Our judicial branch has decided that the Constitution isn’t literal – it doesn’t say what it says. It has used the creative application of penumbras and emanations to “interpret” new definitions for words. Such interpretations allowed the Supreme Court to decide that interstate commerce isn’t limited to commerce which crosses state lines (the very definition of “interstate”). Just like that, with a stroke of a Justice’s pen, state rights disappeared.
"Those who swear an oath to enforce our laws, have decided that enforcement is discretionary. Immigration law can be ignored if politically expedient. Enforcement of the FACE act (which applies to abortion clinics and churches) can be selectively applied to benefit a preferred voting bloc. Laws can even be applied in ways never intended – as they were to prosecute the January 6 protesters.
"Any petty dictator wannabe with a robe and a gavel can defy the will of the voters by constraining our elected leadership from fulfilling campaign promises – the promises we elected them to keep. Yet, court decisions are infringing on everything from troop deployment to construction of a ballroom.
"It shouldn’t be surprising that when the federal government stopped behaving as intended, local jurisdictions have as well. After all, the federal government established the precedent – laws aren’t laws, merely suggestions.
"Now juries are nullifying criminal law if they rather like the defendant. Getting a conviction for government corruption in Washington D.C. – the center of our government universe – is a near impossibility.
"Sanctuary cities are nullifying immigration and firearms laws, simply because they can.
."District Attorneys are nullifying “equal justice under law” by selective prosecution. They are prosecuting political enemies, and excusing political benefactors with impunity.
"At both the federal and state level, these are instances of officials deciding that the laws of the land are optional. But it is also a breach of our most sacred contract." . . .More...
