Judge Susan Bolton has just said it is illegal to enforce any law the Federal government  doesn’t want to enforce. Think about that!

The Federal government can make any law illegal to enforce simply by their refusal to enforce it. This means we are not a Nation of Laws, but a Nation of only the Laws that the Federal government wants to enforce. This means the Federal government can do whatever they want to us. They can pick and choose which laws they want to enforce and to whom they will be applied.

Can this ultimately be applied to Constitutional rights?

If the Federal government decides that national security requires that all guns be turned in, can it simply rule, through a sympathetic federal judge, that the 2nd Amendment is null and void. If the Federal government decides that “freedom of speech” is fomenting hatred and unrest, can it rule that the 1st Amendment has to be limited “in the interest of national harmony?”

It seems, more and more, we are governed by judicial mandate rather than by the law as written.
