Maryland "Freak State" PING!
"HUD announced enforcement of its new 377-page rule called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule which will allow them to move people from poor crime-ridden areas into “wealthy” suburbs."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
There are several major constitutional problems with this official action by HUD. First, the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for vote-winning, intrastate housing purposes.
Also, even if the states had delegated such powers to the feds, consider this. The Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected government bureaucrats like those running the HUD. So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative power whether it wants it or not.
So HUD’s action addressed by this thread is another example of corrupt Congress unconstitutionally camouflaging itself behind a constitutionally unauthorized federal agency in order to exercise powers that Congress doesn’t have in the first place.
Finally, note that if the ill-conceived 17th Amendment had never been ratified then the Senate might have protected 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty by killing all bills that supported the establishment of HUD.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and constitutionally unauthorized federal agencies like HUD and EPA along with it.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Cruz has said that the first thing he wants to do is repeal Obamacare. That won’t be enough. He would need to repeal the entire previous 8 years. Every law, Executive Order, and regulation that has come out of this administration needs to get the ax. Pretty much every SCOTUS decision too. While at it, every SCOTUS appointment. Maybe he would just need Hillary’s reset button.

I’m sure “conservatives” like John Kasich will be along at any time to explain why they’re willing to go along with this plan, rather than turn off the federal spigot to their states and municipalities.
I would bet my left tit that all suburbs affected will be Republican-leaning districts only. This is about diluting the GOP voting bloc. Oh, and exacerbating racial tensions which is what Obungo is all about.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

They should start with the suburbs in Virginia (near d.c.) - then east coast wealthy (and mostly liberal) areas, and they need to enforce this in Malibu and Beverly Hills...
