Court hands Trump win in sanctuary city fight, says administration can deny grant money

That is more winning! Yank federal funding!

 

As posted in the other thread ...

The Feds do this all the time. In the 1970's and 80's, they held back funding to states that didn't cap their speed limit at 55 mph, or raise their drinking age to 21, or adopt MLK Day as a holiday.

 

Yup, he who pays the piper calls the tune.

 

Encouraging Illegal Aliens To Remain In The US Is A Crime, Supreme Court Rules .

The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a federal statute that forbids encouraging illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. unlawfully in a decision Thursday.

The Supreme Court justices voided an earlier decision by the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals, which had ruled that a federal anti-harboring statute was unconstitutional on the grounds that it violated the First Amendment by restricting free speech. The ruling by the nation’s highest court Thursday upholds the law.

​

The Supreme Court not only vacated the appeals court’s decision, but also criticized the judges for “drastically” straying from judicial norms.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal stalwart of the bench, wrote the high court’s opinion.

“[T]he appeals panel departed so drastically from the principle of party presentation as to constitute an abuse of discretion,” Ginsburg wrote, and later stated that “a court is not hidebound by the precise arguments of counsel, but the Ninth Circuit’s radical transformation of this case goes well beyond the pale.”​

 

Don't mess with the IRS. They are the most efficient tax collection machine on the planet. Any Mayor that does might just find city hall boarded up with a for sale sign on it.
