Not sure where I am on sanctuary cities. I hate seeing families ripped -- hooshouse 03/13/2018 11:37AM

That's what I don't understand on this issue. No one seems to be asking -- Hoodafan 03/13/2018 11:52AM

I have read that the cost to the cities is significant. ** -- KCHoo 03/13/2018 1:02PM

Get ready for a Tiananmen Square moment at the Seattle Center, huh? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 03/13/2018 2:56PM

Ok. So you favor scrapping the Constitution in favor of dictatorship. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 2:54PM

Eisenhower did it. ** -- JMHoo 03/13/2018 1:16PM

No. He did not such thing. He followed Constitutional due process. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 2:56PM

Uhh, that is utterly wrong. In fact its the other way around. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 11:43AM

No, you are incorrect... -- Hoo23 03/13/2018 3:18PM

You couldn't be more wrong ** -- Charleston Cav 03/13/2018 12:43PM

In N Korea, I couldn't be more wrong. In the US, one sentence matters. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 12:59PM

Article I, Section 8, clause 4 of the Constitution gives them that right -- Hoo23 03/13/2018 3:24PM

I'm not aware of any state looking to take anyone to court. -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 4:12PM

Agree 100% -- Beerman 03/13/2018 1:29PM

Really? I thought it was opposite, just based on the Supreme Court. -- HoosWillWin 03/13/2018 11:46AM

WADR, you're flat wrong and a bit out of your lane on this one, hool. -- WahooRQ 03/13/2018 1:21PM

I'm certainly not a lawyer. But then tell me how we reconcile the two? -- hoolstoptheheels 03/13/2018 1:29PM
