A last minute appeal has put-off the deadline for ex Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca to surrender to begin serving a federal prison sentence.
Late Monday the 9th Circuit Court agreed to hear Baca's appeal of a U.S. District Court judge's denial of bail during the appeal of Baca's corruption conviction.
Baca will be allowed to remain free until the 9th Circuit agrees to hear the appeal or declines to take up the matter, which would lead to a new prison surrender date.
Former undersheriff Paul Tanaka, who began serving a five year prison sentence earlier this year, was unsuccessful in his effort to convince the 9th Circuit he should be allowed to remain free while he appealed his conviction.

of interest ping? SoCal?
I didn't know there was such a thing anymore. When will most of Congress and the rest of the Deep State D.C. Swamp join him? Are there enough jails to fit them all?

Yeah, I expect to hear Trump announce a prison-building initiative right after Jeff Sessions announces that he’s prosecuting the Clintons. But I’m not holding my breath.
If I understand this situation correctly, I don’t see where the feds have the express constitutional authority to make anti-corruption laws that county sheriff’s are required to obey. Corrections, insights welcome.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
And if such is the case, how many other federal prisoners have broken federal laws that the feds never had the constitutional authority to make?
With all due respect to the rats, drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. The FBI was investigating violations of civil rights in the county jail, namely physical abuse and the like. FBI recruited an informant from inside the jail. When it became clear the informant was going to provide FBI evidence, Baca and his underlings “hid” the inmate and change his name in their files so they could claim that he was no longer in custody. So in all Baca and his underlings were charged with obstruction of justice and lying to the Feds.
We the People must rise up and use the ballot box to restore adherence to the United States Constitution by the elected government officials at the state and federal level.
I believe President Trump would wholeheartedly approve of such measures.
Thank you for your excellent post.
I just hope I live long enough to see that CROOKED SOB IN THE FEDERAL PEN.
"Whether Sheriff Baca lied to the feds or was corrupt in other ways your suggestions are spot on."
Thanks for replies.
This post contains excerpts from the congressional record which help to substantiate that the federal government’s powers are very limited.
In fact, I’m convinced that Sheriff Baca would have done a more respectable job of protecting himself from the feds if he was aware of this stuff.
How would you patriots answer the following question?
Does the federal government have the constitutional authority to make laws that punish criminals for peace-time domestic crime, including murder?
It turns out that the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, had officially clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to punish citizens guilty of peace-time domestic crimes, that it was uniquely up to the states to punish such criminals.
"Our Constitution never conferred upon the Congress of the United States the power - sacred as life is, first as it is before all other rights which pertain to man on this side of the grave - to protect it in time of peace by the terrors of the penal code within organized states; and Congress has never attempted to do it, There never was a law upon the United States statute-book to punish the murderer for taking away in time of peace the life of the noblest, and the most unoffending, as well, of your citizens, within the limits of any State of the Union, The protection of the citizen in that respect was left to the respective States, and there the power is to-day [emphasis added].” —John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See bottom half of third column.)
In fact, a the following excerpt is from a paragraph that appears a little ahead of the excerpt above in the congressional record.
"... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphasis added]." —John Bingham, Congressional Globe (See middle of third column.)
And Thomas Jefferson had previously basically written the same thing.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
So the care of the people, which Jefferson and Bingham had indicated in conjunction with the states, evidently means that the states uniquely have the constitutional authority to make peace-time punitive laws dealing with domestic violence, including murder.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited[emphasis added]”. —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, in stark contrast to federal laws which punish criminals for peace-time domestic violence, note that the states made the Constitution’s Section 4 of Article IV to clarify that federal involvement in helping to suppress domestic violence is arguably limited to responding to application by a given state’s legislature or governor.
”Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence [emphasis added]”.
Corrections, insights welcome.
So although Sheriff Baca admitted that he had lied to the feds concerning civil rights violations, patriots are reminded that the only civil rights that the states have expressly amended the constitution to protect race and sex for example, deal only with voting rights issues as evidenced by the 15th and 19th Amendments to the Constitution.
What a mess ! 8^P

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
