“NY Democrats Mull Secession Over Immigration Dispute,” iHeart Radio reported Wednesday. “In response to President-elect Trump’s immigration plans, some New York Democratic legislators are considering secession from the United States.
“State Senator Liz Krueger has proposed the idea of New York becoming a new province of Canada, arguing that this move could alleviate Canada’s burden of enforcing illegal border crossings,” the article explains, quoting Kreuger’s assertion that “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box.”
In other words, she – and everyone who believes in her enough to vote for her – think it’s not unreasonable to reject every terrible sacrifice that made American unique and great, and return to the king. We settled that question two-and-a-half centuries ago with a revolution unlike any the world had ever seen: a revolution in the concept of government by “We the People” instead of by a monarch.
“The idea of hereditary legislators is as inconsistent as that of hereditary judges, or hereditary juries; and as absurd as an hereditary mathematician, or an hereditary wise man; and as ridiculous as an hereditary poet laureate.”
So, it figures that an Opposite Day “progressive” like Krueger advances the inconsistent, absurd, and ridiculous argument of returning to a system that was rejected two-and-a-half centuries ago. Once again, Democrat “forward thinking” reveals itself to be a great leap backward into tyranny. (And yes, Canada is devolving into one, with heavy-handed government extortion on guns, on speech, and on social norms.)
Krueger is – forget “spitting” – defecating on the graves of every New Yorker and every American who gave their all to establish and defend the Republic she rejects. That’s what she considers “not unreasonable.”
But there are unintended consequences for New York’s aspiring Canadians that could very well have never entered their collective hive minds.
If her oath to the Constitution is no longer in effect, then Krueger has disqualified herself from holding office. Per Article. VI. of the Constitution:
“[A]ll executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.”
Here’s what she freely pledged:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the State of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of ……, according to the best of my ability.”
This is what she’s willing to betray to abet foreign nationals illegally entering the country in violation of duly (and democratically!) enacted laws. And note the Constitution doesn’t just say that executive officers have to take the oath—it says they are “BOUND” by it. That means once she volitionally “unbinds” herself, she’s in violation of a non-negotiable requirement and must be removed from office.
Additionally, as a comment on my The War on Guns blog notes:
18 U.S.C. §2383: “Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
There’s another “legal” consequence if Krueger and fellow travelers renounce their citizenship and opt to become Canadian. If they do, they will have disqualified themselves from owning a gun.
“Identify Prohibited Persons: The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person… who has renounced his or her United States citizenship;”
By embracing citizen disarmament, the phony egalitarians have rejected the Second Amendment, the most equitable power-sharing arrangement ever devised, and by renouncing their citizenship, are hoisted with their own petard. At least it ought to make being a Canadian easier for them.
But here’s the thing—they can leave, but the land stays here. With fewer swarms of radical Democrats to harass its people and eat out their substance, New York ought to become a pretty nice place to live again.
And this just in: After, and only after, being roundly ridiculed, a face-saving Krueger is now saying her proposal was only “a joke, of course,” She then immediately doubled down on her bitterness over “democracy” in the national election restraining New York Democrat control. In a way she’s right, though, her proposals are a joke, but the people rejecting them aren’t laughing with her…
