Calif. AG Xavier Becerra says the law is the law. But is his law tyranny?

[johnwk]

In a PRESS CONFERENCE this past Thursday, California’s Attorney General said “Regardless of what the rumors are, the law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution and people have rights.”

I, and many others across the United States of America, see illegal immigration as destructive to the general welfare of the United States, and want all the actors who violate existing immigration law, PUNISHED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW! And this especially applies to those who hold an office of public trust who knowingly and willingly engage in the felonious act of harboring, which is exactly what AG Xavier Becerra is engaged in.

It is bad enough when ordinary American citizens flaunt immigration law for their personal gain or interests. But when those who have taken an oath to support our Constitution and those laws made in pursuance thereof break the law, the door to anarchy has been opened and threatens the very system of government we live under.

In Federalist Paper No. 47, Madison wrote:
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."


It is a dangerous day in America when the Governor of a State or a local Mayor ignores federal immigration law agreed to by the people’s Representatives, who goes on to usurp legislative, executive and judicial powers in order to impose their personal feelings and sense of justice as the rule of law! And it is even more dangerous when an Attorney General embraces this act of tyranny and threatens ordinary citizens in the community, who dare to cooperate with federal law enforcement officers.

Actually, I thought discussing the legitimacy of California's law, and its AG enforcing such a law, would make for an interesting discussion. I never thought State elected public servants would take it upon themselves to impose their personal sense of fairness, justice or reasonableness as the "rule of law".




"The public welfare demands that constitutional cases must be decided according to the terms of the Constitution itself, and not according to judges' views of fairness, reasonableness, or justice." -- Justice Hugo L. Black ( U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1886 - 1971) Source: Lecture, Columbia University, 1968
