Glad to see this. Doubly glad that this is from San Francisco since the appeal would go to the Ninth Circuit.

1. Just saw a CNN Breaking

Good.

Philly is a Sanctuary City and believes this whole DOJ threat thing is complete bullshit.

2. Coming Soon: Jeff Sessions, Elf, wondering "How can some judge living all the way on the west coast

make a decision to affect all of the racists and white people in the southeast??"
Sad.

3. well that didn't take long

The Federal gov cannot "commandeer" states and local governments to comply with a federal program. Hasn't the White House counsel studied constitutional law? That's a rhetorical question.
