Good for Oklahoma:
Oklahoma’s bipartisan congressional delegation this week accused the Obama Justice Department of trying to strong-arm the state into rejecting an English-only referendum by saying it could cost Oklahoma federal funding.
In a stern letter to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., the lawmakers – six Republicans and one Democrat – said Justice officials were meddling in Oklahoma affairs when they issued a pre-emptive April warning letter, well before any potential violation of law would take place.
“The Civil Rights Division letter was dubiously timed at the peak of legislative debate rather than in response to a particular state action,” the delegation wrote to Mr. Holder on Tuesday, questioning whether Oklahoma was being singled out and asking what funds would be jeopardized.
Obama’s “Justice” Department’s excuse is that they just wanted modifications to prevent conflict with federal laws – but that is pure, after-the-fact BS, if you ask me. Until a law is passed and enforcement is attempted – or, at least, a court case filed – there’s no way for Justice to determine if a law will violate some other provision of law. As the legislative process goes forward, Justice might be asked for an opinion, but it must not try to interfere with the process by threatening a loss of funding.
Obama’s Administration is getting a bad reputation for intimidation – they don’t want conservatism getting to the forefront because the liberals believe that conservatism was forever defeated in November, and thus liberalism should never have to argue with it, again, in the public square. All we’re supposed to argue about is the best means of implementing Obamunism – sticking to the “party line” as it were – we’re not supposed to do anything which might call in to question the underlying socialist, multi-culturalist and environmentalist assumptions of Obamunism. Oklahoma spoke out of turn, and His Majesty was not amused.
Three cheers for the courageous people of Oklahoma for standing up for their rights – and the rights of all Americans.
