States Cannot Be Compelled to Use Resources to Enforce Federal Laws

Another example of how the Left is consistently inconsistent was presented by a letter to the editor from Eric Taussig replying to Rep. Richard Littlefield in regard to HB 1178. This bill, recently signed into law by Governor Sununu, will prevent New Hampshire authorities from enforcing any federal gun-grabbing laws passed in D.C.

Mr. Taussig referred to the Constitutional supremacy clause nullifying that bill. That’s Mr. Taussig’s opinion but he forgets that numerous Democratic-controlled states have passed laws forbidding their authorities from assisting federal agents attempting to apprehend illegal aliens in violation of federal law.

Courts have upheld the right (Penn. 41 U.S. 539, 1842), that states cannot be compelled to use state law enforcement resources to enforce federal law.)

Recently, a Leftist activist got himself arrested planning to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Yup, he had a gun (a pistol) which is the most common firearm used in murders and not so-called assault weapons. You see, Mr. Littlefield recognized that the extreme Left has no interest in stopping gun “violence.” They only want to disarm law-abiding citizens in case they have a reason to overthrow our Republic (not “democracy”).

Other Leftist activists sent photos of the Kavanaugh children’s school in a clear attempt to intimidate the Kavanaugh family. If any readers think this is acceptable keep in mind that the door swings both ways or that other phrase as well. “what comes around, goes around.”

Not only are these attempts immoral and illegal, but they also incite the other side to adopt these actions unless authorities move quickly and strongly to find, arrest, and prosecute perpetrators. Otherwise, we invite chaos.

Or is that what the Left wants?

P.S. Still no one from the Left has come forward with any actual evidence of Donald Trump violating any laws. How come?
