That also means, you don’t have to obey laws you disagree with.

So much for the OATH of OFFICE either/both of took upon taking office.

They are both frauds & were from the first jump.

“REPARATIONS” come in many different packages.

Without the recognition of the “Rule of Law” we have no government at all.

And in large measure we do not: we have a government by dictat. [ I have a pen I have a phone...]

I wonder if this applies to same sex marriage and guns. Oh, but I bet that Holder has to agree with your opinion for it to be a legitimate change.

Eric Holder: Ironically, the champion of states’ rights.

I just wonder if he realizes it.

Isn’t this anarchy when even the officers of the law don’t obey it.

When is the congress going to impeach this guy?

In civics class we were taught “America is a Nation of Laws”
not just obey the ones you like.

See, there’s the rub. The government (those in it) are showing a blatant disregard for the law as written. They are frankly open about it.

But, they know they have the decency of the law abiding on “the other side” that will not reciprocate.

There will come a time, though, when the law abiding are going to recognize that the actions of those in power are without legitimate authority and act accordingly.

Yes, the gov’t has the legal ability to use deadly force to impose its will, but if that use of force is not founded in legitimacy, it is simply thuggery, and the people have a right to defend themselves from thuggery.

I have had many liberals accuse me of being an anarchist because I oppose big government when the truth of the matter is that the titular head of the Rat Party, Obama himself, and all of his minions are preaching a lawless government that only executes laws that they find useful. When the government no longer feels the obligation to enforce the laws, then the citizens have no need to obey them.

Cool! I wonder which states will be the first to allow people to own unregistered fully-automatic weapons, granade launchers, and ignore Obamacare.

Why pass any laws at all if enforcement is optional?

Think selective enforcement..........
