SANCTUARY PUSH BACK? Week of 2018/05/21
It seems that there might be developing a reactionary push-back against
the proliferated 'sanctuary' city, county, state movement at long last. There
have been numerous reports of counties and cities in California rejecting the
idea of being a 'sanctuary' for those who have illegally 'invaded' the USA.
There this has even expanded, reports have stated, to a move to divide the
state into three separate states, leaving those socialist oriented in the center and
the North and South as separate new states. If done, the major change we
would see would be the addition of four US Senator seats, with each new state
having the Constitutional two.
Also, there have been earlier reports of a move in Illinois to separate out
Cook County, that is Chicago, into another state, but so far no word of action
has been received. That would, if done, have the effect of two Senators (always
Democrat as now) from there and two new ones, probably Republican, from the
remaining State of Illinois.
But hold the phone. It is my understanding that ONLY the State of Texas
can do that without an act of Congress. Texas was a nation when it decided,
with treaty, to become a state. In the treaty, in my understanding, Texas has the
right, on its own volition, of two options. It can just decide to leave and again
become an independent nation, or it can remain in the USA and divide itself into
as many as, the story goes, five individual states. Again this would result in eight
added Senators, which likely would become Republican, with the original two,
in the C/S areas, becoming Democrat.
Frankly it boggles my mind how those officials who insist on giving many of
the rights and privileges of citizenship to people who have deliberately violated
our laws by 'invading' our national property. In addition they grant them welfare,
education, and other 'rights' guaranteed by the Constitution to those who have
citizenship. In effect, these officials are encouraging lawlessness, which engenders
additional law breaking, including murder, rape, and burglary. In my opinion
elected, appointed, and employed officials at any level of government who violate
the oath of office should be summarily removed from office and prohibited from
ever holding another, perhaps even jail time.
Unfortunately, that last is not likely to occur until large numbers of those
type people holding Federal and lower judgeships are removed from the bench.
In some cases all it would take is for the voters to become informed and vote those
out. In others, such as 'like appointed' Federal judges, it will take Congressional
impeachment action to effect removal of corrupt occupants. Thus it is obvious that
the "Swamp" is far larger than envisioned by PRESDT-45, and in this case beyond
his authority.
On the brighter side, the Oklahoma Legislature in the last session, just ended,
passed and the Governor signed into law, a bill authorizing legal gun owners the right
to consider their church of membership as a second home and thus to carry when
there. In at least one case in Tulsa County my informant stated that the pastor had
announced recently words to the effect that there were two non-uniformed security
individuals in addition to those uniformed present. He went on, I was told, to state
that if members were armed it would do well to so inform the uniformed guards so
that they could inform the others just who was in case there was an incident. Seems
like a good idea to me.
Also two, or more governments can play the 'sanctuary' game. A small AP
story in the daily paper of May 7 stated that "several rural Illinois counties have taken
a stand for gun rights" by becoming 'sanctuary' counties for gun owners. The story
stated that at least five counties have adopted resolutions to be "Sanctuary Counties".
The county board chairman stated, it said, that at least 20 Illinois counties and officials
in Oregon and Washington have requested copies. Hear, Hear!
