Another WND panic attack. Colorado already grants peace officer powers to almost every federal agent under the sun. See C.R.S. 16-2.5-147. In 2011 they added the U.S. Marshal’s Office. The timing is suspect, but you need not worry, Colorado has been federalized for some time...

And, Obozo lost by more than 10% of the vote in the last election in TX. And Romney was NOT POPULAR in TX.

Blue collar workers leaving in droves thanks to the states love affair with cheap Mexican labor. By 2020 the place will be the asshole of the USA and as blue as California.

This is a bad precedent. Colorado is basically tearing up the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

For what?

This is ridiculous. Coloradans, it is time to grab your state representatives by their sport coat lapels and give them a good shaking!!! What they are doing will be to undermine every ‘state’s right’ argument, by playing puppy and rolling over on their backs to obama!!!

This is treason.

So for the first time in history, Federal officers would have authority over all law enforcement.

Guess Obama IS getting his domestic army after all. Who would have thought it would be the Secret Service.

No, this is for enforcement of FEDERAL GUN LAWS that sheriffs deem unconstitutional and refuse to enforce.

In other words, if the sheriff doesn’t trample your constitutional rights, the Feds will go behind them and do it for them.

They aren’t, they are for enforcing FEDERAL laws. Especially the gun one that will be coming up shortly.

I missed that part of the bill, or missed it mentioned in the article. That changes EVERYTHING! (Not that I didn’t think this bill was a bag of crap in the first place)

That was the point that the Republicans were making in the bill. Why the need for it?

An armed standoff between sheriff’s deputies and SS agents is entirely possible. All it would take is involved citizens.

“Report any suspicious persons, vehicles or activities to your local sheriff’s department.”

The SS surrounds a home. County deputies surround the SS. Bystanders with Iphones record the proceedings. Take it from there.


Damned right.

Deputize as many as it takes.

There will be plenty available, for sure.

We can’t rely on Boehner. He could have done the same thing to kill Obamacare and didn’t.

Federal “law enforcement” is the “standing army” that the Founders warned against.

Probably shouldn’t tell them about the bats. The poor bastards will find out soon enough.

I think the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 also mandated that US marshals and ‘slave recovery agents’ could require local law enforcement to assist them. That was a major issue that enraged many in the non-slave holding states.
