When Did it Become Normal for Half the Country to Disregard Federal Law?

[BlueGin]

That sounds a lot like J6.

Republicans spent 4 years rioting and burning down cities?

12 April 1861.

Before that.
Northern states ignored or refused to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act

That's a lie.

Ghettos would kill gays when the time comes.

Was, or was not, the J6 protest about losing an election?

No, it was about an election that was obviously stolen.

When Did it Become Normal for Half the Country to Disregard Federal Law?​

November 5th, 2024.

That was when a convicted felon was voted into the president's office by 51.5 percent of the people who voted.

How is that a violation of federal law, dumbass?

When Did It Become Normal for Half the Country to Disregard Federal Law?

Examining the widespread disregard for federal law by half the country and its impact on immigration and governance.

If you do not like a law, you elect people to public office who can legislate a change. That is our chosen mechanism. It is what keeps up from destroying ourselves from civil wars and insurrections. But no, not the left. They now believe that taking to the street to force their views through bullying and violence is ok. In other words, the Dems' policy is "F*** the law!! We will install our own regime by FORCE!!" This is what is happening now. You cannot dispute it. It is not happening on each and every issue, but damn near close! It is a practice that Dems are trending toward.

This is not good for the sustainability of our republic. Back in the Founders' days, the anti-ICE insurrectionists, for example, would have been dispatched with extreme prejudice, as would be right and just. Protesters are free to protest. However, "protest" does not include interfering with valid and lawful immigration enforcement activity. "Protest" does not include violence upon police and other citizens. "Protest" does not include creating anarchy conditions. WE ALL KNOW THIS. SO WHY ARE WE ALLOWING IT TO HAPPEN.

You may pretend to shed a tear over sexual deviant Good, and weirdo Pretti, but I don't. Honestly, the only reason the left (and I include YOU leftist goofballs on this board) pretends to mourn is to sustain the narrative. Clearly, nobody on the left gives a crap about either one of them. Even here, it is plain to everybody that no Dem or leftist is all that broke up about these 2 dead morons. In fact, you can hardly contain your glee because you consider these deaths to be giving you some sort of high ground in this debate. Well, it does not. What is shows is a complete, 100% failure on the part of local law enforcement to protect its citizens by not keeping these lunatics (some with loaded guns) away from federal law enforcement, and a sick desire to sacrifice a couple of idiots for the "greater good" (i.e., the overthrow of the American republic). What a shameful spectacle! None of you deserve to be called "Americans".

When you leave the realm of peaceful protest, and get into forcible actions outside the scope of legislative means, especially when violence is involved, you have, in my opinion, forfeited your voice in politics. You have become a criminal. It is NOT because of the substance of what you are saying; it is because you are acting ultra vires and contra the U.S. Constitution and laws of the land. You deserve no empathy.

January 6. Should have lined up and hung all those traitor ***** on TV... Trump and his entire family first.

“No One is above the Law!” …… says the full of shit Democrats.

Democrats are in no moral or intellectual position to echo this phrase again. Then again, they never were.

How is that a violation of federal law, dumbass?

First off, there is the matter of the insurrection, which disqualified him from office BY THE CONSTITUTION. But the election of a convicted felon to be president represents a national disregard for the law.

When Did it Become Normal for Half the Country to Disregard Federal Law?

My inclination is that it occurred when the federal income tax began to hit the middle class soon after 1942. Prior to the war only those with high incomes needed to file taxes. By 1945, the tax hit 90% of American workers and I expect a lot of creativity started being done within those filings.

Well now Creepy, you've touched upon a similar point to one I've made myself. The question is not when did it become normal to disregard federal law, the question is when did it become LEGAL? Answer-- it never is, otherwise, the law becomes meaningless. Laws in a republic can be wrong, they can be repaired, fixed, or changed, but they cannot just be ignored.

All matters regarding the borders, immigration and naturalization, etc., are a /federal/ matter over which the states have no say. In that sense, Federal law is NATIONAL law, and it cannot just be denied, refused, nor evaded so long as you are any part of the USA.

No city or state can refuse, obstruct or threaten federal law or its agents without that itself being a FELONY. It is an act of insurrection.

So far, I've seen somewhere around 50 to 150 felony acts committed, some of which go beyond just obstruction of law or threatening a law officer into the territory of incitation to civil riot, culpable negligence contributing to the death of another, and even sedition and insurrection. And some of those involved have been city mayors and state governors, police captains, and various sundry democrats.

What I don't like is the reaction of the federal government so far to just say its a no-no, or to mumble some platitudes, like the other day when Tom Homan thanked the mayor for his cooperation (in finally doing his job), in allowing local police to help ICE get their arrests and get out of there with their lives for a change, followed by the mayor basically spitting in his face claiming the Fed was chased out of town and thanking the community for standing up to those evil ICE guys! I mean, WTF?!

OTOH, Frey is saying he chased ICE out of town, yet, OTOH, Homan is saying that they got their people and are wrapping things up but will be continuing normal operations in the area.

A lot of people need arrested and slapped down hard for causing a literal city and state organized street war against the federal government. I mean, if Minnesota can throw the Fed out and invade the country, take over and commit crimes outside federal law, then what is to stop any gang like MS13 or TdA from not doing the same thing?

Each day that goes by that city and state officials and neighborhoods doing stuff like this are not arrested nor charged with any crime at all is not only an embarrassment, it is both an invitation to just do more of it or worse, and ITMT, it also looks like an admission of guilt that they were right about you all along, and that you are wrong.

I especially like the lady cop in Phili saying that "real" cops don't wear face coverings! Too bad no one told her that regular police are also not followed around by marauding gangs of violent activists guided by democrat city resources she works for looking for any opportunity at all to identify any ICE officer then doxx him and attack their families.

It wouldn't surprise me if crazy democrats are not following ICE into the McDonald's bathroom to get a photograph of the freckles on their bottom side.

People who have committed non-violent crimes

Is an 8 billion dollar fraud non-violent?

Bill and Hillary are due to take the stands soon.

They'll take a lot more than just the stands. They'll take the chairs, the mics, and the water bottles too. That's just the way they roll.

Before that.
Northern states ignored or refused to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act

That was good on them. The feds could have enforced it themselves, asking the States to do it directly was unconstitutional.

Same thing with immigration enforcement, the feds aren't asking the locals to actually do anything, just cooperate when requested to turn someone over.

There was no insurrection. A "national disregard for the law" is not a criminal statute he violated, you moron.

They lack staying power, I guess.
