His office just took two actions in two consecutive days that constitute a tacit legal insurrection against the United States of America. Just yesterday, in an unprecedented move, our intrepid United States Attorney Generals office released a statement saying that the DOJ disagrees with the Courts ruling securing Second Amendment concealed carry rights. Justice Department Statement on Supreme Court Ruling on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen The Department of Justice today released the following statement from spokeswoman Dena Iverson following the Supreme Courts decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc., et al. v. Bruen, Superintendent of New York State Police, et al.: We respectfully disagree with the Courts conclusion that the Second Amendment forbids New Yorks reasonable requirement that individuals seeking to carry a concealed handgun must show that they need to do so for self-defense. The Department of Justice remains committed to saving innocent lives by enforcing and defending federal firearms laws, partnering with state, local and tribal authorities and using all legally available tools to tackle the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our communities. Then, today, Old Man Merrick took things one step further. The DOJ issued yet another statement disagreeing with the Supreme Court, this time on their ruling against a Constitutional right to abortion. But this time, Merrick Garland personally issued the statement himself, which makes this escalation that much more dangerous to our Republic. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland Statement on Supreme Court Ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization Attorney General Merrick B. Garland today released the following statement following the Supreme Courts decision in Dobbs, State Health Officer of the Mississippi Department of Health, et al. v. Jackson Womens Health Organization et al.: Today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and held that the right to abortion is no longer protected by the Constitution. The Supreme Court has eliminated an established right that has been an essential component of womens liberty for half a century a right that has safeguarded womens ability to participate fully and equally in society. And in renouncing this fundamental right, which it had repeatedly recognized and reaffirmed, the Court has upended the doctrine of stare decisis, a key pillar of the rule of law. The Justice Department strongly disagrees with the Courts decision. This decision deals a devastating blow to reproductive freedom in the United States. It will have an immediate and irreversible impact on the lives of people across the country. And it will be greatly disproportionate in its effect with the greatest burdens felt by people of color and those of limited financial means. *** But todays decision does not eliminate the ability of states to keep abortion legal within their borders. And the Constitution continues to restrict states authority to ban reproductive services provided outside their borders. We recognize that traveling to obtain reproductive care may not be feasible in many circumstances. But under bedrock constitutional principles, women who reside in states that have banned access to comprehensive reproductive care must remain free to seek that care in states where it is legal. Moreover, under fundamental First Amendment principles, individuals must remain free to inform and counsel each other about the reproductive care that is available in other states. Advocates with different views on this issue have the right to, and will, voice their opinions. Peacefully expressing a view is protected by the First Amendment. But we must be clear that violence and threats of violence are not. The Justice Department will not tolerate such acts. *** The Justice Department will work tirelessly to protect and advance reproductive freedom. Under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, the Department will continue to protect healthcare providers and individuals seeking reproductive health services in states where those services remain legal. This law prohibits anyone from obstructing access to reproductive health services through violence, threats of violence, or property damage. The Department strongly supports efforts by Congress to codify Americans reproductive rights, which it retains the authority to do. We also support other legislative efforts to ensure access to comprehensive reproductive services. And we stand ready to work with other arms of the federal government that seek to use their lawful authorities to protect and preserve access to reproductive care. In particular, the FDA has approved the use of the medication Mifepristone. States may not ban Mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDAs expert judgment about its safety and efficacy. Furthermore, federal agencies may continue to provide reproductive health services to the extent authorized by federal law. And federal employees who carry out their duties by providing such services must be allowed to do so free from the threat of liability. It is the Departments longstanding position that States generally may not impose criminal or civil liability on federal employees who perform their duties in a manner authorized by federal law. Additionally, the Departments Office of Legal Counsel has determined that federal employees engaging in such conduct would not violate the Assimilative Crimes Act and could not be prosecuted by the federal government under that law. The Justice Department is prepared to assist agencies in resolving any questions about the scope of their authority to provide reproductive care. *** The ability to decide ones own future is a fundamental American value, and few decisions are more significant and personal than the choice of whether and when to have children. Few rights are more central to individual freedom than the right to control ones own body. The Justice Department will use every tool at our disposal to protect reproductive freedom. And we will not waver from this Departments founding responsibility to protect the civil rights of all Americans. Of course, the DOJ has commented many times before that they are disappointed in a ruling, which is perfectly legitimate. However, to say the department disagrees with the ruling indicates that they will ignore and refuse to enforce the courts ruling, which, to paraphrase the Democrats, is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Keep your eye out for if the blue states ignore or refuse to implement the Supreme Courts ruling on concealed carry weapons. When the Democrats said for years that President Trump was dangerous to our democracy, it appears they were only projecting. Merrick Garland has just tacitly declared war on the Supreme Court

And this is the reason Merrick Garland was rejected by the U.S. Senate for a seat on the Supreme Court. Quite simply, he is a flaming liberal. ;)
Definitely needs a dose of freedom, healthcare and civil rights.
In 1917, Lord Arthur Balfour wrote the Bafour Declaration. This promised the Jews a national homeland in Palestine, which was then an Ottoman area. It was presented to the Zionist Federation of Great Britian and Ireland. Hitler wanted to send the Jews to Madagascar, a lush tropical island. But the Jews did not want to hear this. They wanted to go to Palestine. This brought about the Transfer Agreement. The Jews could go to Palestine, but they had to leave their personal wealth behind. It has ALWAYS been about the money. ;)
