This sounds so crazy, my first inclination was to consider the story a hoax or an unsubstantiated rumor; however, it originated in the Los Angeles Times, not on the blog I'm linking, so maybe there's something to it: "In a Congressional First Pelosi Opens Satellite Field Offices for DC Capitol Police in Florida and California to Deal with Regional Threats".
Under what legal authority (I know, I know) does Granny McBotox presume to have the power to do this? Governor Newsome's probably fine with it, but I hope Governor DeSantis turns any D.C. Capitol law back at the border.
I used to think I could figure out the point of a lot of what our fine betters do, but lately I have no freaking idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of that? Is she, or whoever tells her what to do, thinking they could get some national polizei going to keep us in line?
Why is she starting with Florida? Is she trying to get a "deal" to occur so she can....what?
Seriously. What is the point? Is this a "you need to be really, really, really paranoid" situation?
the executive branch already has multiple national polizei; the supreme court has a small police force with very limited jurisdiction; the legislative branch has the capitol police, again, with limited jurisdiction, according to its enabling legislation, but it seems they're not covered by foia requirements, hmmm

ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. Where does the Speaker of the House get the power to give the Capitol police legal authority anywhere outside the Capitol? Is this the first overt step toward creating a federalized police force?
ReplyDelete...there is a likelihood such a move is connected to the larger political goal of enhanced federal enforcement to quell any rebellion...
ReplyDeleteQuell any rebellion. They say that like a rebellion is always a bad thing.
