Conservative Review

The ink had barely dried on my Wednesday column about judges who are stealing our sovereignty when another rogue judge in Texas issued what is perhaps the most radical decision on immigration of all time.
Our body politic has agreed to the false notion that even lower federal courts are the sole and final law of the land — no matter the policy issue, no matter the Constitution, no matter the views and powers of the other branches of the federal government and the states. Thus, “gay marriage” is the law of the land, transgenderism is the law of the land, 15 days of early voting is the law of the land, voting without photo ID is the law of the land, unlimited Somali immigration is the law of the land — even when all these fantasies directly contradict the actual laws of the land, duly passed by legislatures and signed by chief executives at the state and federal levels.
Well, now sanctuary cities are the law of the land.
Coming on the heels of another federal judge blocking Texas’ photo ID law, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, a Clinton appointee who previously redefined marriage from the bench, blocked most of Senate Bill 4, which was designed to clamp down on sanctuary cities. S.B. 4 punished local law enforcement that failed to comply with federal detainer requests of illegals held in local jails before they are released. Judge Garcia granted a preliminary injunction, citing “overwhelming evidence by local officials, including local law enforcement, that SB 4 will erode public trust and make many communities and neighborhoods less safe.” He went on to cite the number of witnesses who testified against it as a rationale for the injunction. Who needs a Constitution when we have political arguments? This judge engaged in civil disobedience.

Federal and state legislatures, need to write stronger laws, restricting judicial powers to defy the will of the voters, and to redefine constitutional intent.
