Boy if you really want to get a liberal angry, shut off the spigot of the federal funding and watch them writhe like a wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz with water tossed on her.
From the Hill:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) plans to push back against the Trump administration’s policy withholding public safety grant money from so-called sanctuary cities by filing a federal lawsuit claiming it is illegal for the federal government to take such action.
“We’re not going to actually auction off our values as a city, so Monday morning the city of Chicago is going to court, we’re going to take the Justice Department to court based on this,” Emanuel said during an interview on WLS radio 890 set to air Sunday, according to The Chicago Tribune.
“We find it unlawful and unconstitutional to be, as a city, coerced on a policy,” he continued.
LOL!! That’s awesome.
I’m not sure on what basis they’re suing, but it seems to me that if they prevail that Trump can just go to the Republicans to pass a law imposing the same standard. Dems have already shown weakness on enforcing immigration law so it might work. But then again, Trump has shown himself to be utterly over his head, while the GOP remains ever spineless…
