A Question for Libs

[reason10]

What if some large American city (or even a small town, for that matter) decided to outlaw abortion entirely. What if all the clinics were shut down? What if all hospitals were monitored, to the point where any doctor engaging in a curettage abortion were arrested?

What would be the proper legal reaction?

Interesting question. Since the Supreme Court ruled on Roe vs Wade I believe that would take precedence and they would be in violation of Federal Law.

Point of correction here...there are NO "libs" here. There are plenty of absolutist leftist collectivists, but no "liberals" who adhere to the tenets of pluralist order, tolerance, and esteem of varied politics and philosophies.

If you are correct, if some form of the Federal Government is authorized to override the actions of a state, or a city?

For real?

What if there were no Roe v Wade, but a Congressional pro-abortion law? What if it were passed by Congress and signed into law by a president? What if the right to abortion were in the US. Code?

What would be the proper action of the federal government in such a case?

Federal law supersedes state and local laws. It's part of the constitution.

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the supreme law of the land.

Sooooo......riddle me this Spamature, if federal law supercedes state law how has it come to pass that there are dozens of "sanctuary cities" and other such designated "sanctuary" garbage all over this great nation of ours? Aren't those types of places illegal according to the federal immigration laws of our country?

I don't see how that is any different then it is today. It's legal to have an abortion in this country.

Define your terms, starting with "abortion."

Because immigration is the responsibility of the federal govt. State do not enforce the borders of our nation. You can't force states and cities to do the job that they have no right to do.

Sanctuary cities for babies. I like it.

Exactly correct.

So what that means is the Obobo administration allowed numerous cities, municipalities and colleges to break federal law for years and years. All the while actively supporting the illegal aliens that take refuge in those lawless "sanctuary" places at yours and mines expense and detrement. That is assuming you pay taxes of course.

Glad to see a lefty like yourself that wants to see the immigration laws of our land followed and these people deported....... Right?

See you in court. Just like the last 3 times President Stumped tried do something stupid and illegal.

What exactly is illegal?

You and I both just established that "sanctuary" anythings are illegal under federal law which supercedes any state law.

LOL! I mean how is the court going to force the federal government give these "sanctuaries" monies for something that is clearly and blatantly ILLEGAL?? This isn't an executive order.....this is established federal LAW.

Tax conservatives so they'll pay for an abortion in another city?

Fair?

Hey cannabis is legal in some states. If the federal govt want to prevent its usage they can. But they can not force the state and local law enforcement to do it for them. Just like trying to force states and local govt to enforce federal immigration law. While the law is the supreme. It is also still up to the federal govt to enforce it's laws when the states think different. That is why you saw federal troops enforcing desegregation in Southern schools. It's the same thing.
