Dallas Rep proposes bill to fire Sheriffs for not enforcing

[Syntyr]

@dcexaminer Sheriffs are elected officials, so another elected official making a law to remove an elected official ... could be an interesting dilemma if the Texas bill which (IIRC?) criminalizes a law enforcement officer assisting a Fed Agent trying to enforce gun control passes

Didn't think about that...

I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God

For 29 years, I never before considered it was going to end up an either or kind of deal

Thank You, Sir!

Yvonne, I hear a village in California is looking for an idiot.. I'll give you bus fare.

Personally, I think everyone should write her thanking her for introducing this bill and that you applaud her efforts to get local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws.

See how fast she can yank the bill.

Can we request that Attorney General Holder resign? He seems to selectively enforce that law.

Unfortunately Yvonne Davis is my rep, and nobody even bothers to run against her she is so entrenched. I don't think she has ever even bothered to respond to any letter I have written her.

Interesting, sheriffs and county judges are created by the Texas Constitution. You would think a Constitutional ammendment would be reuired. She has probably never had it read to her.

We need to get someone to draft legislation to automatically recall anyone who proposes stupid, insane, ignorant, unconstitutional, self serving, unethical, or conflict of interest legislation.

Make sense?

Did I forget anything?

That's a dead on description of Shelia Jackson Lee.

[sdmahoney]

You have my condolences. Now, if I may ask, why is she so entrenched? Is she really doing that good of a job for her constituents or is she really good about buying votes? I don't really expect a answer to my questions but it sure makes you wonder sometimes.

Mostly minority area of Dallas that votes Democrat regardless of any issues I imagine. A good indicator is the last time someone ran against her in 2008. She won with 79% of the vote. Even back in 1992 (her first run), she won with 65% of the vote.

What an idiot. What an ignorant idiot.

I am at a loss for words beyond that.

I propose that the Sheriff's office in Dallas County start enforcing any & all laws that she or her office may possibly be in violation of.

In Texas the County Sheriff is the highest law of the land.
