"If someone's constitutional rights are infringed, it's up to the courts to take action, not this board," Kelly said.
Au contraire. If someone's constitutional rights are infringed, the injury has already occurred. The purpose of these resolutions is to preempt that violation of rights.
Kelly's statement puts the cart before the horse; in real terms, people's lives will be ruined with little to no probability of being rebuilt.
Case in point: Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. His reputation has been destroyed, his lifetime of accrued assets totally depleted, and even if his case is reversed and/or thrown out, he's SCREWED.
That is not what life in America is supposed to be like.
It's atrocious, and unacceptable. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
