Mark Trammell, the Constitution and the Center for American Liberty vs. Keith Ellison
Trammell "explained how suing governors who abuse their power is a 'favorite pastime' and how his organization has been pushing back and winning more than a few high-profile cases in court." If governors like Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker think that they can ignore the Constitution, they need to be stopped immediately. In federal court! AG Ellison insists that Minnesota's Civil Rights Act is the only protection they need to justify Minneapolis's sanctuary city laws. He's obviously ignoring the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution.The Supremacy Clause takes precedence because immigration and naturalization is a federal responsibility. State laws get 'Trumped' by federal laws, especially when the Constitution gives that authority to the federal government. Check this out:
The Constitution was meant to promote individual liberty by restricting government's rights (HINT: It doesn't have any.) while recognizing that one person's rights stop where another person's rights begin. AG Ellison hates placing restrictions on government authority, though he doesn't mind restricting businesses and people. During the early days of COVID, the authoritarian side of Tim Walz would sign an ill-advised executive order, then AG Ellison would prosecute the victim who obeyed the original EO but was caught when Scramble-Brains Timmy changed the EO. I remember the restaurant owner in southern Minnesota who was sent to jail for opening her business so she could feed her family. That's disgusting. Walz and Ellison should both be prosecuted for treating people that way.
