This is insanity ! Who thinks that this is a good idea? State and Federal authorities in a physical confrontation with each other? This is the most irresponsible and crazy shit that I heard lately! Not only is it inciting violence and suggestive of a civil war between the Federal Government and the States, but it flies in the face of the rule of law and basically says that Trump is above the law . But it gets worse!The first and easy thing to do is pass a law saying none of our sheriffs, none of our police, none of our state law enforcement is going to work with [federal agencies], communicate with them, or recognize any of their authority,” Sabatini said. “If you do that, if you stop tax collectors, clerks of the court, counties, cities, everybody from operating with them, communicating with them, you leave them in the dark. We need to do that immediately.”
Not only do they not have respect for the rules of law, they have deep disdain for the entire constitution and the concept of a Constitutional Republic. Rather, they would have us revert to the Articles of Confederation which as we know from history, was a dismal failure“The second thing is the much more controversial idea, and that’s using nullification, using the 10th Amendment to say if a federal agency is operating and performing so-called law enforcement functions—which is what they’re pretending is what they did when they raided Mar-a-Lago—they have to gain state permission. If they do not do that, we should treat them as trespassers and arrest them. If the FBI is going to try to haunt Donald Trump and arrest him at Mar-a-Lago—which I believe they’re going to try to do in the next few months if we don’t stand up—we need to physically prevent these rogue federal agencies from doing that. And that means using our law enforcement. If we don’t have agents that are willing to do that, recruit new ones, but use the state power against federal power. It’s obvious.”
