Sometimes you really have to wonder how people like U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle ever graduated from law school much less get appointed to a position in the federal judiciary. We are often regaled with insane rulings form judges who obviously have no grasp on reality and, once again, we have just such a ruling.
First a little background. Farmers Branch passed a law that says it is a crime to rent an apartment or home to an illegal alien within its jurisdiction. This, of course, makes sense because to rent an apartment to an illegal alien knowingly would of course be aiding and abetting their crime of being in the United States illegally. But in the world of this ditsy judge such common sense is vacant and not practiced.
Here is the report:
“Ordinance 2952 is a regulation of immigration and is preempted by the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution because the authority to regulate immigration is exclusively a federal power,” she wrote.
The ordinance established a licensing system for renters in Farmers Branch. Renters would be required to pay a $5 fee and obtain a residential occupancy license issued by the city’s building inspector. Under the system, the building inspector would verify a renter’s immigration status with federal officials if the renter did not declare him or herself a citizen or national of the United States. The city would revoke the licenses of people the federal government said were in the country illegally.
The Constitution says on the matters of immigration:
Article I, Section 9:
“The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.”
For reference, the “Surpremacy Clause” is thus:
“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
Here is the problem however and any first year law student understands this. The problem for Ms. Boyle is that the Constitution does not prohibit states, or even localities like cities or townships from passing laws dealing with illegal aliens as defined by federal law! It only says, and I quote this because Ms. Doyle apparently needs this spoon fed to her, that Congress cannot prohibit the “migration or importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” and that this is in effect until the year of, “one thousand eight hundred and eight.” However these criminals are already here!
Now, this law in Farmers Branch had absolutely nothing to do with this power of Congress in the first place; a power which Congress has to set immigration law. This law only made it illegal to rent a room to someone in violation of federal immigration laws and the Constitution is silent on States and their ability to help enforce these laws. Farmers Branch did not write its own immigration laws.
Nowhere in the Constitution is Congress granted the sole authority to enforce immigration laws. And, again, I must remind the ditsy judge here that this law in Farmers Branch had nothing to do with the actual act of immigration in the first place only the prevention of aiding and abetting someone already in violation of immigration laws which the Congress may justly set.
Now, I am sure that Ms. Ditz here knows the basic principle of the Constitution considering that she is a federal judge and all? You know, the common and basic principle of all that is not given is reserved? Our founders espoused that at the time of our Constitution and since they said it, it is reasonable to conclude it is what they meant. Since it is what they meant and there has been no amendment to the Constitution changing this, what they Hell is this judge babbling on about?
The power that Farmers Branch exercised was not given to the Federal Government. Therefor, I reiterate, that it is most assuredly reserved.
Judge Boyle should be impeached for gross incompetence. No person this stupid should serve in such an important position. And if I were here, I would watch over her shoulder because based on the poll on NBC’s website regarding this story just 6% are “thrilled” with her twisting of the law. 3% are sad. And a whopping 84% are “furious.”
Yeah, I’d hire someone to start my car if I were her. The American people are not in the mood to deal with her insanity on top of all the other insanity going on right now.

Liberal Judge Overturns Farmers Branch Law
