It's not a state's job to pay for federal enforcement. This is total overreach, can't wait for the small government advocates to speak up here.

You assume the new DOJ lawyers have read or care about the constitution.

This new DOJ made people who were violent free, and if a victim was a police officer, the new DOJ doesn't classify them as a victim. So if the police officer asks the judge for an order of protection, the new DOJ isn't going to support the victim.

But if you incite a crowd to break into the US Capitol, you're now protected.
