(Pay wall. Screw 'em.)
"[L]ocal governments are entitled to 'absolute legislative immunity' when acting in their official capacity."
Delusions of grandeur.
And absolute nonsense. When local governments disobey state law under color of authority, they have committed an offense. The state government classifies it as such, and the 2011 amendment to that prohibition creates penalties for violations. Both the core law and its amended form are within the state's powers and subdivisions of the state serve at the pleasure of the state, not the other way around.
This behavior is typical of 'progressives,' and they cannot be permitted to get away with it.

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
