I would hope a SCOTUS ruling against sanctuary policies would provide cover for the Feds to deprive sanctuary municipalities/States of any Federal funding. Lower level judges have blocked some of these efforts, and have interfered with the Fed's only way to really enforce National Immigration policy.

My personal stance on this stuff has been pretty clear from the get go. The Constitution and SCOTUS rulings guarantee the First Amendment Right to peaceably assemble & protest our government. This is NOT what's occurring in Minnesota. These are NOT peaceful assemblies. They are interference and harboring/abetting. I do NOT like some of the technology and tactics being employed by some Immigration Enforcement Agents. I believe they are violating the 4th Amendment, and amount to warrantless searches. I have no issues with face coverings on Immigration agents as long as they are required to wear 'always on' body cams that are checked out and in daily with their contents downloaded and reviewed and placed into a wearer's personal file to address any future legal questions, and/or for training purposes. The footage should be kept for a standard amount of time that's agreed to at the Federal level for Federal agents. Officers/Agents should be required to wear more standardized uniforms, and use standard, easily labeled vehicles. If someone vandalizes them, they should be arrested, booked, and jailed. They should be forced to pay for damages before their release as part of their 'bond', or their wages should be able to be garnished for compensation. The Administrative vs. Judicial warrant questions need to be addressed. Immigration Officers/Agents should not be allowed to just randomly stop people and ask their citizenship status. The wearing of body cams should help eliminate some of these possible abuses. Employers should be forced to use the I-9 system, and it needs to be integrated into a working, national database. Sanctuary policies have to be stopped. This issue needs to go to SCOTUS on a fast track. Just my thoughts, and have been the same since the beginning of this mess. Some of the groups organizing the protests that aren't peaceful are a side issue as are the individual shootings we've been discussing. But, I think it might be a good idea to have protesters have to get a permit before large gatherings that interfere with public venues/emergency egress/access where local law enforcement/emergency services can be prepared. This doesn't infringe on people's right to peaceably assemble & protest, and would seem to be a reasonable limitation for public safety. Not all my thoughts are a solution. They may not even be workable, or legal. But, they're common sense to me as a person who respects our officers attempting to do their jobs while also protecting our civil liberties. P.S. I don't like our teachers involving our kids in this stuff before they are of legal age at all. Period. We send our kids to school, and assume they're being protected in a safe environment. Not let out on the street to participate in these activities.

Where’s this supposed story? Post the actual link to the story about the event. I think your hatred is so great, you’ll believe anything, and you’re the one who winds up looking the fool.

Just read on Reuters that the Biden appointed U.S. Federal District Judge shot down Minnesota’s lawsuits against the Federal Government for the immigration enforcement surge. [Hidden Content]

Actually, Somali pirates. They got confused. They're used to pirating on the high seas as their top income producing job, and thought 'Minnesota--The Land of 10,000 Lakes' meant they would feel right at home, and could branch out into fresh water.

I didn’t watch the full video. Only about a minute or two. But, I noticed there were exact duplicates of it with a male presenter & a different ‘creator.’ I attempted to find more news about it—since it would be such a major story at this time—and I found nothing mentioned anywhere. I went back to make sure I had the date range correct to search, and found the video had no real date. It just said ‘last night at 900 Eastern’. Where’s the actual news story? There’s no listing for a church of this name in Dallas. The closest match is a church in Garland, and it makes no mention of this event. Could it be that after posting a video telling folks how stupid they are, you’ve been duped by a YouTube fake news story and some dude on Facebook? Please post the link to the actual story. I’m interested, and I’m apparently too big of an ‘idiot’ to find it on my own. As a sidenote, why are all the caricatures in the video about Dunning-Kruger the symbol for Democrats?

SCOTUS will hear arguments on April 1.

Problem is, it’s gone way beyond the ‘Let’s keep Austin weird’ stage & gone full-blown into too many teachers wanting to be full-time activists stage. I still believe they should keep their personal views at home, or on their own time & their own dime. I couldn’t tell you a thing about any of my teacher’s religious or political views. They never brought them to class.

Problem is, it’s not just Austin. Instead of letting the kids walk out, the entire school—from the Admin on down—should be forced to pass another government/civics class. The first test should be if they know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance.

Personally, I prefer Rand Paul over Lindsay Graham any day. Graham is a war monger, and part of the military industrial political complex. Paul goes off the rails sometimes. But, he asks the tough questions. He fought against the Patriot Act also. The Act that was misused against the current POTUS and others. [Hidden Content]
