THREAD: A quiet constitutional restoration is brewing. Might it quell our nullification crisis? It& #39;s not widely reported, but it could be a big deal. Allow me to explain...

2/...Unrest in cities like Portland isn& #39;t just the doing of BLM and Antifa radicals; it& #39;s abetted by pro-crime district attorneys who serve as bouncers at the proverbial door to justice. Portland& #39;s is DA Mike Schmidt... https://realjusticepac.org/endorsements/mike-schmidt/">https://realjusticepac.org/endorseme...
3/...Social media attention has focused on Portland& #39;s mayor, Ted Wheeler, who& #39;s embarrassingly curried the favor anti-police rioters& #39; (who hate him anyway) ever since taking office, issuing chronic stand-down orders as police commissioner... https://www.kxl.com/demonstrators-riot-outside-his-home-on-mayor-ted-wheelers-birthday/">https://www.kxl.com/demonstra...
4/...and it& #39;s also focused on Oregon& #39;s Governor Kate Brown, who& #39;s allowed violent rioters to amass in the streets during an epidemic (refusing Wheeler& #39;s plea for National Guard help) while taking a heavy hand against law-abiding citizens... https://pjmedia.com/uncategorized/jeff-reynolds/2020/08/25/oregon-business-owner-says-state-forces-him-to-discriminate-against-certain-customers-levies-huge-fine-n815668">https://pjmedia.com/uncategor...
5/...But while these actions are concerning, they take attention away from the person most responsible. For Wheeler and Brown have at least allowed the police to interve against the worst rioting. But it is the DA who decides not to prosecute...

6/...After running on "reform" and "public safety," Schmidt pulled off the mask and openly declared serious crimes like harassment, theft and burglary II un-prosecutable when committed by BLM/Antifa; even extending the favor to rioters w/ outstanding felony rape warrants:
7/...And as mentioned, this trojan-horse ploy of turning county DA& #39;s into fixers is no fluke, but the concerted effort of Real Justice PAC and other familiar anti-Constitutional big spenders, and has filled high-profile DA offices across the country... https://www.lawofficer.com/george-soros-backed-das-are-undermining-american-justice/">https://www.lawofficer.com/george-so...
8/...including the DA who brought criminal charges against a St. Louis family for defending themselves against rioters who broke into their private property and threatened them: https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-is-funding-pac-supporting-reelection-of-prosecutor-who-targeted-mccloskeys-report-says">https://www.dailywire.com/news/soro...
9/...So the importance of DA complicity to the nationwide nullification atmosphere--where rogue municipalities and states flout federal/constitutional law--can& #39;t be stressed enough... https://www.britannica.com/topic/nullification-crisis">https://www.britannica.com/topic/nul...
10/...DAs like Schmidt may think they& #39;ve succeeded in shutting down dissent by rigging local & state laws through selective prosecution. But the laws they& #39;re rigging aren& #39;t just minor noise ordinances. They& #39;re state constitutional laws that have federal counterparts...

12/...DAs like Schmidt and their allies in city council and the statehouse are aware of this, but they bet the farm that they could convince an epidemic-stressed, media-glutted population that it was all somehow DC& #39;s fault: https://katu.com/news/local/gov-kate-brown-responds-to-president-donald-trump-claim-federal-officers-have-done-fantastic-job-in-portland">https://katu.com/news/loca...
13/...Brown & Wheeler botched many attempts to *appear* to be doing something--enlisting state state troopers & sheriffs from adjacent counties--while refusing National Guard aid & complaining about federal LEOs on federal property.. https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/08/state-police-pull-troopers-out-of-portland-return-troopers-to-regular-assignments.html">https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/202...
14/...Thankfully, state police and county sheriffs saw through the charade and refused to take part--drawing much-needed national attention to the DA problem: "the only way to make Portland safe again [is for]...the DA to charge offenders appropriately." https://katu.com/news/local/clackamas-co-wont-help-governors-plan-to-stop-portland-protest-violence-sheriff-says">https://katu.com/news/loca...
15/...Which brings us back to the original point of this thread: Now state & county LEOs are being deputized to enforce federal/constitutional law. The crimes that DA Schmidt condones at county level have a federal component, called Civil Disorder...

16/...State & county police, tired of the thankless task of arresting people who& #39;ll be immediately released to harass them, have begun cooperating w/ federal law enforcement, who& #39;ve deputized them to arrest Portland terrorists on Civil Disorder charges... https://thepostmillennial.com/feds-arrest-charge-accused-portland-rioter-who-had-charges-dropped-by-da">https://thepostmillennial.com/feds-arre...
17/...and lest the significance go unappreciated, they began by arresting one of the perps that DA Schmidt had released w/o prosecution. Unlike Wheeler, Brown & Schmidt, Oregon& #39;s federal prosecutors aren& #39;t weak tools or grandstanding machine politicians: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V_3itpmB0c">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
18/...Let us hope that this strong showing by OSP spokesman Fox, County Sheriffs Roberts & Garrett, US Attorney Williams & the rest of his federal colleagues will awaken Americans to the fraud being perpetrated by Real Justice PAC district attorneys....
19/...And let us also hope that domestic terrorists, who flocked to Portland because they thought it was an easy target, will finally receive due process via the constitutional checks and balances they were too stoned to learn about in shitty leftist public schools.
