Emanuel to sue Feds over new Sanctuary City Rules

WLS-AM 890 ^ | Aug 4, 2017 | By Bill Cameron

(CHICAGO) Mayor Emanuel says he’s going to sue the Trump Justice Dept on Monday over its new Sanctuary City rules.

New rules just out prevent Sanctuary Cities like Chicago to get certain law enforcement grants and so the mayor says Chicago will file suit to kill the rules and get the millions in question.

In an interview with WLS-AM for Sunday’s edition of “Bill Cameron and Connected to Chicago”, the mayor said “We are not going to be put in a position of choosing who we are as a welcoming city and strengthening our police dept. These are exactly the kind of training and technology you want to be investing in right now and also do it in a way that the community’s involved.”

The Mayor also tells Cameron that he’s no longer Bruce Rauner’s friend, even as Rauner said this week he still considers the two of them to be friends.

You can hear the entire conversation with Mayor Emanuel on “Connected to Chicago”, Sunday night, 7 – 8pm on WLS-AM 890.

So far Chcagl has had 57 shooting and 4 homicides in August. This brings they yearly total to 2256 shot and 421 homicides.

With numbers like that wants a few more dead or shot to the Dems in Chicago a sling as it isn’t white police shooting “innocent unarmed black youth”

Their heads would explode if conservative cities decided to not allow abortions.

See how they like that sh!t.

Personally, I'm underwhelmed. Federal grant losses of only $2.3 million for Chiraq, $1.9 million for LA? Those cities could make up the shortfall by firing a couple of dogcatchers or superfluous bureaucrats.

On the other hand, it's the principle that counts. The leftist mayors and judges are absolutists and will fight this tooth-and-nail.

Why does any city get federal funding? That spending isn’t authorized by the Constitution. Last Feb., I wrote to a republican member of the Senate Budget Committee and two republican members of the House Budget Committee. I included a few budget suggestions, and I asked them to eliminate all grants to city and state governments. That would save about $350 billion, per year. I said that, since the federal government would need less money, the same bill should cut tax rates. None of those lawmakers replied.

I don’t get it, but lawyers commenting on Fox says he has Supreme Court precedent on his side. How can our Constitution not protect us from non enforcement of our laws?

[jjotto]

States were intended to have a degree of sovereignty. The SC has ruled that states can’t be forced to carry out federal law. There’s an argument that funds can’t be withheld as punishment, but it’s a weak one.

The SC has long ago become outcome based rather than legally based, so it’s really a crapshoot.

It seems what’s at issue is a grant

Grants can simply be denied, law suit ot no lawsuit

"Mr President, the entire US Dept of the Treasury is under your control."

=============================================

OBAMA GAVE RHAM EMANUEL TWO KEY JOBS Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (oversees the IRS).

PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

==========================================

Pres Trump needs to suggest AG Sessions make an inquiry to the US Dept of the Treasury and be sure to ask what RAHM AND Obama were doing in the US Treasury after Obama got elected.

Treasury prolly HAS a huge Rahm/Obama paper trail. One can get awfully rich awfully fast knowing the Fed's Treasury moves in advance.

But the Iran connection could prove to be even more interesting considering the hundreds of millions Obama secretly gave to Iran.

REFERENCE--According to the govt of Mexico, illegals on US soil are, in fact, Mexican citizens. So that US officials using tax dollars to prop up sanctuary cities are fulfilling the foreign policies of Mexico.

==============================================

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A TEXAS COURT, MEXICO
SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

=========================================

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

NOTE This wipes out anchor babies......as well as Secy, Jeh Johnson and Obama's assertions WRT Obama's amnesty dictat that illegals have essentially "become American" b/c they go to school, have licenses to drive, and can even practice law in California. (Excerpt) Read more at endingthefed.com ...

It’s against the federal constitution to enforce federal law./s

[SERKIT]

So Rahm thinks it is legal to intentionally break Federal law and obstruct justice enough to sue to try to prove that breaking the law is legal?
