"No Legal Effect"

The Virginia Attorney General is now saying that those ubiquitous gun sanctuary resolutions “have no legal effect.” Seems to me they want to “have their cake and eat it, too.” Liberals agree with the “sanctuary city” movement when it supports something with which they agree—like illegal immigration creating more Dumocrat votes. But they then say a similar thing supporting something with which they do not agree is “not legal.” For my part, both are illegal as a matter of law. If a county sheriff doesn’t want to enforce unconstitutional laws, he has but to NOT do so. He doesn’t have to announce it. But a sanctuary city that will not obey the law MUST announce it, to tell the illegal aliens where they will be safe from ICE. Or reasonably safe. Looks like lawmaking to suit themselves, not to suit the law. It amazes me how politicians can twist the law to suit themselves. But in this case, they can’t. If a sheriff doesn’t want to enforce an unconstitutional law, he has but to not do it, and all the state can do is take him to court, where they will lose. (Virginia Mercury)
