Somehow I am not surprised

Well, it seems that the Feds have triumphed at last.

I was just about to post that.

You gotta be quick!!!

I will be next time.

What a remarkable insight into American politics you have, Aaron.

 :001_rolleyes:



Not interested in your silly hounding games bucko.



Let's stay on topic shall we?



I won't call you a geriatric sexual deviant and you won't second guess my gender.

[Bricktop]

Why so serious, son? I merely complimented you on your rather developed knowledge of the American political system.



And nobody is second guessing anything. There is no necessity to guess when your gender is already well known. Although, that does not take into account how you self identify.



Are you a female in a male's body, perchance?

[Frood]

I haven't got the time or inclination for your antics.



Instead of talk smack back in retaliation I'll leave you to your own devices.

[Bricktop]

That would be nice. Thanks for dropping by.

[Frood]

Not going anywhere unless Fash or Kiebs say otherwise. I'm just not trading back and forth with you if it's going to derail topical threads and cause dramas like the last time I was here.

Not a flaw, if the actions of POTUS are at odds with his or her authority as the States and the Federal are meant to share equal authority according to compacts made. This distinction has been watered down for numerous decades even centuries though.

I agree that states rights have been watered down.  I am in no way for taking away states rights.  Immigration has nothing to do with states rights.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1876 that immigration regulation is an exclusive Federal responsibility.



It IS a flaw because it upsets the check and balance system.  One lower court judge should not be able to overrule a president.  their objection should be noted, but not become final unless affirmed by the supreme court,  It has nothing to do with states rights as these are federal judges trying to block Trump.  And they are doing so against the written laws of the land.  Judges are supposed to interpret not legislate..

Provinces have some input on immigration in Canada, particularly Quebec.

The illegal immigrant who discharged a firearm and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle was sentenced to three years in prison Friday, but he won't be spending any more time in state jail.



Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was acquitted of Steinle's murder in December, but a jury convicted him of the lesser charge of a felon in possession of a firearm.



Since he has been detained in the San Francisco jail since his arrest on July 1, 2015, he was credited for time served.



Garcia Zarate will be on state parole for 48 months and will be transferred to federal custody.[/quote]

This case got very little coverage from Canadian news sources.
