The two good judges we have — Ellis on the Manafort case and Sullivan on the Flynn case — are both black.
“The 10th Amendment of the Constitution gives the people of California, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will provide for the public safety and general welfare of our state.”
Wasn’t there a court case over the Arizona immigration law, in which courts decided, that the federal government, not individual states, have the ultimate authority in the area of immigration?
And if that’s true, these liberals can’t have it both ways. You can’t say, on the one hand, in the case of Arizona, federal laws trump state laws dealing with illegals. But then on the other hand, in California, say state laws on immigration override the applicable federal laws.
And it’s funny to see someone who we know is liberal, to invoke the 10th amendment on anything.
Their whims are the law for the Death to America Democrat Party.
So which judge did they ask? Seems to me that that would be important information.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra

“The 10th Amendment of the Constitution gives the people of California, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will provide for the public safety and general welfare of our state.”
The 10th Amendment specifically states:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
Yet the Constitution SPECIFICALLY states:
“Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 does read, “… To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, …”.
And the Supreme Court has upheld, on numerous occasions (most recently concerning Arizona) the Feds have exclusive authority over immigration of any kind. To include illegal immigration.
Becerra’s argument is an emotional farce. And eventually the Federal Courts will show that.
National security is federal.
Immigration is federal. Citizenship is granted at federal level. Customs is federa. Border patrol is federal.
Lock these clowns up.
Strange definitions of concert, conflict, and Constitutional.
In the tortured logic of the Left, conflict IS concert with the law. After all, if the law is not tested, how can it be proven to be Constitutional?
And with the “correct” interpretation of “constitutional”, just about anything may be shoved under that broad umbrella.
I think the people of Arizona already found out that when it comes to immigration the federal government is supreme!!!

Really? So taking measures to prevent the federal government from conducting its constitutionally mandated function of protecting the citizens is now “providing for public safety and welfare”?
It is twisted “thinking” like this that makes me think that liberal brains are miswired. They are literally incapable of logical thought, as if the neurons responsible for rational thinking feed into the emotion circuits, causing truly bizarre outputs.

“The federal government has no grounds to intrude on California’s constitutional authority to enact laws designed to protect its people,”...
A good reporter (which are now extinct apparently) would ask... “Mr. Becerra, who are “its people “specifically ???
Someone needs to remind Becerra that he can’t have it both ways...in concert - no conflict with federal laws. If that’s true then why is he arguing that CA has the right/power to decide how to provide for citizen safety? Why is he complaining if CA is in compliance with federal law? This jerk should have stayed in the U. S. Congress. He’s too dangerous for CA to have in state office.
“”California’s laws work in concert – not conflict – with federal laws and are fully constitutional,” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “The 10th Amendment of the Constitution gives the people of California, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will provide for the public safety and general welfare of our state.””
“”The federal government has no grounds to intrude on California’s constitutional authority to enact laws designed to protect its people,” Becerra added.””
