Oroville Declares Itself Constiturional Republic In Stand Against Newsom COVID Mandat

[Gunny]

Who wants to bet Newsome's 2 week disappearance was because he had COVID? I wouldn't bet against it.

I disagree with the Vice-Mayor. (WTF is "vice"-Mayor"?) Declaring yourself a Constitutional Republic is not a symbolic gesture. It means you're going it on your own against both US State and Federal rule. If you're going to man the f-up, then man the f- up.

UPDATED 1:15 PM PT – Monday, November 15, 2021A Northern California city has declared itself a “constitutional republic” city in an effort to take a stand against Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 mandates.
In a six-to-one vote earlier this month, the Oroville City Council adopted the resolution, which would oppose state and federal orders it considers as government overreach.
While the designation would not shield the city from federal or state laws, the city’s vice mayor, Scott Thomson, said it’s a largely symbolic push-back against Newsom’s policies.

“It’s just basically drawing the line,” Thomson stated. “It’s not necessarily against one specific mandate. We’re not talking about one mandate that’s been pushing on us recently. It’s a barrage of mandates.”

The resolution is similar to the sanctuary city status, which protects undocumented immigrants despite federal immigration law.

Constitutionally i think they could simply write up their own laws in line with constitutional freedoms and only enforce those.
kind of like what sates are doing with the drug laws. the feds have drug laws on the books but the state and local cops and courts just never enforced them... or give the feds any help or access in investigations and the like.

the city could simply NOT comply and unless Newsome is going to send in state troopers to enforce his BS Covid rules he's got little to nothing. (well of course blocking state money promised)
But it's always been the hidden power of the people against the gov't.

If the gov't says STAY home and all or most of the people just get up and go to work anyway what's the gov't's recourse? Jail and shoot everyone?
As corrupt as i think some cops are I don't think that would happen.
The gov't often only has as much power as we give them.

BTW : same goes for people in the military. Military folks do not have to obey unconstitutional orders. In the short term it may get called treason or insubordination if 1 person does it... or mutiny when a ship load does it.
But if a larger group does it. it's something that the brass has to call or concede to.
the military conditioning is set up to make the whole thing unlikely but it is a very real option.
After World War II, tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers mutinied — and won (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/after-world-war-ii-tens-of-thousands-of-us-soldiers-mutinied-—-and-won/ar-AAQA6LJ?ocid=ientp)

Another instance of rebellion:

Oklahoma National Guard is refusing to be vaccinated.

One solution to enforcing their Mandates is to have Pentagon strip away all resources and declaring them a militia. Or federally activate them long enough to vaccinate them. Until that happens they're under the state control not federal.
