have they ever read the preamble to the constitution?

quote:

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


Part of the governments job is to make sure citizens are safe.

Thanks to Schoolhouse Rock I could sing / recite the Preamble since I was a young lad.

This is a Trump chess move. He sends them in, the lib governors and mayors bitch and want them out.

Trump campaigns that liberals want you to live in a war zone where riots are the new normal.

Amazing how local response to federal troops varies with the party affiliation of the local official and the occupant of the White House.

I don't like the riots either but I don't think you can call yourself a conservative if you like this federal government overreach.

It sounds counterintuitive but law and order is a prerequisite for individual freedom.


You can't have individual freedoms with mobs threatening and beating you.

Doesn't the Supremacy Clause come into play regarding crimes committed on or in Federal property?

Does't a governor's swearing in say he/she will uphold the constitution of that state and the constitution of the United States? Seems to me that federal government has a sayso in certain aspects of state government when that pledge is taken. You have pointed out one of them.

You fricking hypocrites. If Obama sent federal troops into states to bypass local law enforcement, you would be going ape shite.

FACT.
