Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions warned California on Wednesday that "there is no secession" from federal jurisdiction as he appeared before members of the California Peace Officers Assn. in Sacramento to announce a lawsuit against three so-called "sanctuary state" laws. To no one's surprise, his claims drew immediate rebukes from state officials. Gov. Jerry Brown's initial response after the suit was filed late Tuesday stands as one of the better jabs in this political fight: "At a time of unprecedented political turmoil, Jeff Sessions has come to California to further divide and polarize America. Jeff, these political stunts may be the norm in Washington, but they don't work here. SAD!!!" He followed it at a news conference with another shot at Sessions, a former U.S. senator: "A fellow from Alabama talking to us about secession?" Grab the popcorn; this could get interesting.
Oddly, we (sort of) welcome the Trump administration's legal challenge in hopes that it will clarify not just for state officials, but for the federal government where the lines of responsibility and culpability might lie. We suspect the courts will side with California on most if not all of the legal issues Session's lawsuit raises, and in the process could underscore the reality that California's menu of state and local laws limiting involvement with federal immigration enforcement do not offer anyone anything remotely like sanctuary.

Reminds me of the TV show, “Suits”.

LOL!

Fed TRUMPS States, in immigration. Man up, California! Either you are part of the USA, or you’re not!
Actually, the constitution does have an escape clause for states to leave.
>>>the reality that California’s menu of state and local laws limiting involvement with federal immigration enforcement do not offer anyone anything remotely like sanctuary<<<
All righty then...
The LA Times, do you believe me or your lyin’ eyes.
The reality is that is the going to drag out in court for years and both side will claim the high ground. Beltway business as usual. Sadly, Sessions will not use the levers of federal government power at his disposal.
I would prefer Sessions sue governor Brown for signing his own treaties with China.
Have any states tried to leave the union in the past? How did it go?
So the LA Times now thinks it’s OK for a state to make an immigration law?
Not what they said when the National Council of La Raza sued California in federal court over Prop. 187 back in 1995.
This is not going to stay in the courts, because as one poster said, that will take too long.
This is Fort Sumter and the eve of war.
And it should be. We’re not abandoning the United States to the hegemony of Mexico.
It’s over for the invasion. The Sleeping Giant is awakened now, and one thing will lead to another. In the end, Jerry Brown will join Jeff Davis in the pantheon of American Traitors.
“How did it go?”

Not well for the states that seceded.
I seem to recall from history that many years ago a whole bunch of Democrat controlled states got mad about the election of a Republican President and tried to secede. As I recall, it did not go well for them.
OTOH, I went to a government high school, so what do I know?
“We suspect the courts will side with California on most if not all of the legal issues Session’s lawsuit raises, and in the process could underscore the reality that California’s menu of state and local laws limiting involvement with federal immigration enforcement do not offer anyone anything remotely like sanctuary.”
Good luck with that. If that is the case then one can also kiss goodbye the EPA and Title 9 for starters.

As does the Declaration.
Where do you even start, with people this ignorant? Is it going to take the US Military to slap the stupid it of these people?
I think you’re referring to the Declaration of Independence. The Civil War shoeless that if you want to leave you’d better be ready to take up arms. Jerry Brown is good ar running his mouth, but I don’t see any of Jeff Davis’ steel in his spine.
Shoeless -—> shows. (Spell check is a theoretical concept with my android.)
Does it have an eviction clause as well? /s
“Good luck with that. If that is the case then one can also kiss goodbye the EPA and Title 9 for starters.”
You’re being way too logical by thinking that one judicial precedent in one area carries over to another area. Given that judges are heavenly slanted to the left and that they’re activists, once an issue gets in their hands anything is possible,including blatantly inconsistent rulings.
“Good luck with that. If that is the case then one can also kiss goodbye the EPA and Title 9 for starters.”
Then really no need to have any military bases there.
