“There is no nullification. There is no secession. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. I would invite any doubters to go to Gettysburg, to the tombstones of John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln. This matter has been settled,” he continued.

I thought the whole point of our Constitution is that it limit the power of the central government to impose its will by the power of the sword.

But here is Sessions pointing to the battle field where more US citizens died in a battle in defense of the rights of men to choose their own government than any other battle fought by AmerIcans.

Could be that Sessions has found at least one of his nuts.

It will be interesting to see if kalifornica understands the message and responds appropriately.

Arkansas could not defy federal law in 1957. I hope this impasse does not need to come to this. For those who don’t recall this chapter of US History or were not alive to remember the event here is an outline of it:

Sessions is still the AG? I never hear of him doing anything as AG.

I’ve seen this movie before, only in previous versions Darrell Issa, Trey Goudy and other Congressional investigators played the lead role in, “Thump the Table - Do Nothing”.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a stern warning to California...

*******************

LOL. Kalifornia could care less. They will ignore this legal gambit, but they can’t ignore funding blockages. Money is the only thing that will get the state’s attention and compliance.

His focus is ass backwards. He recused himself with the matters that truly matter.

“How dare you?” That’s the best Sessions can do in regards to that “mayor” in Oakland?

How ‘bout “You’re under arrest, you Marxist b*tch!”

If CA morons continue to push this, they will wake up to a little “Gettysburg” moment.

Jeff Sessions has been AG for 1 year, 26 days.

**************

Not really. Rod Rosenstein has been the de facto AG for the entire time.

I didn’t see it, but reading it here and the “how dare you?” to the mayor sounds pretty weak. He should be prosecuting her, not admonishing her in a speech.

How dare you????

Lock her up.

In leaving out Article VI, Clause 2 of the Constitution, Sessions, misstates the Supreme Law of the Land, even though in this rare case, the feds are actually within their constitutional authority in dealing with immigration, and the state, California, in the wrong where it usually is.

Regardless, Sessions and the whole D.C. establishment - Dems AND GOP - are part of the problem. They gotta go.

Excellent speech, but it has to be followed IMMEDIATELY by action.

"Here’s my message to Mayor Schaaf: How dare you," Sessions said Wednesday.

This is not good enough. Acting like a spurned girlfriend doesn't threaten anyone. Arrest the woman! She violated the law!

Wow that should scare her away. I take it Sessions will back this with prosecution? I didn’t think so.
