Federal law is magic and always right -distressingly common belief
Alright, let’s arrest people who break federal law. Let’s start with laws on “selling weapons to countries committing genocide” and next we can do “insider trading”
Genuinely until we handle those two laws I don’t think we should be enforcing literally any others
there's some interpersonal state crimes that should get more attention than they currently do, luckily you just freed up a bunch of resources and the pigs would have less of an excuse.
They were asking a rhetorical question. They agree with arresting runaway slaves.
Acting like laws are divinely ordained by God Almighty instead of political tools used for political ends
Literal medieval peasant mindset
we hold these truths to be self-evident something something god something something slavery is cool
what are we, some kind of fugitive slave act?
"but the lawwww!!!" i scream as im dragged away by the gestapo for having 1% irish blood in my veins (they were declared "not white" a day ago)
I hope this is a bit. It is too perfectly ignorant and specific.
the double negative is fucking me up
I bet they say 'irregardless'
Same
