Tell Your State To Pass This No-ICE-At-Our Precincts Model Law. NOW.
By Josh Marshall

….There are already federal laws that ban soldiers or armed federal agents at polling stations. But since Trump owns federal law enforcement that doesn’t really matter. What this model does is recommend states pass their own state laws which follow the language of those federal laws as closely as possible. That accomplishes two critical purposes. The big threat to these kinds of defensive state laws is federal supremacy. When state and federal power or law come into conflict federal law is supreme. But only when the federal government or federal authorities are acting in a constitutional and lawful capacity. Since these new state laws would only be outlawing what is already against federal law they are only outlawing actions which by definition cannot be lawful. Approaching the problem in this way, by mimicking these seldom discussed or used federal laws, disposes of the supremacy clause issue categorically and elegantly. State officials are now on solid enforcement grounds. Additionally, individual federal officials only have criminal immunity if they are acting lawfully. The model law also creates a civil cause of action which citizens can use to sue federal officials from violating their rights.

There are other details about the strategy and theory behind this approach you can find on the page which has the text of the model law. Definitely read it if you’re interested and certainly read it if you serve in a state legislature or are part of an activist group which might lobby state officials to pass such a law.

1. Everything AND the kitchen sink!!!!!

Yes Please!
This is a pitched battle raging right under America’s somnambulant eyes and thankfully some minds are engaged and trying to anticipate the direction the Snake will take and how to get ahead of it and have a chance to separate the head from the tail. Having to fight a partisan Judiciary is going to take some beautiful minds and a unified front.
I think demonstrating they will kidnap legal citizens is aimed at discouraging the vote at the polls, and they’re trying to find a way to require in-person voting in a blatant effort to rig the Election. Having an army of “agents” a hundred feet away from the polls in their MAGA finery is a likely scenario.
So… whatever can be done to ensure a fair Election for all should be done.
Thank you for your….
