Merrick Garland will not ever sit on the Supreme Court. We now know exactly what kind of a bullet we dodged because of that decision.

When Eric Holder was Obama’s AG, he called himself Obama’s ‘wingman’. The media (and other Democrats) never batted an eye at that moniker, yet they were very upset when they accused Bill Barr of being nothing more than an extension of Trump’s will.

With a Democrat back in the Oval Office, they’ve all gone back to not objecting to an AG that carries out the Partisan politics of his President.

Merrick Garland has made it very clear that he does not approve of States auditing the elections. (Not that it’s any of his damned business.) He has gone farther still. He has made vague threats against anyone doing a recount, that the Feds will be breathing down their necks, looking for any sign of wrongdoing on which they can pounce.

The current recount is being held in Arizona, and the AG there took that threat personally. He fired back with a notice of his own in an open letter written directly to the former future Supreme Court Justice Merrick Garland.

He did more than that. He took his federal counterpart to school.

In case you are unable to read this image on your device, here is what it says:

Dear Attorney General Garland,

Late last week, you made troubling comments about the ongoing efforts in states to ensure election integrity. Your statements displayed an alarming disdain for state sovereignty as defined under the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution and the election provisions in Articles I and II.

Your comments followed a May 5 letter from Pamela Karlan of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division on the subject of the Arizona Senate’s oversight of the Maricopa County audit. This letter appeared more interested in supporting the hysterical outcries of leftist pundits on cable television rather than the rule of law.

My office is not amused by the DOJ’s posturing and will not tolerate any effort to undermine or interfere with our State Senate’s audit to reassure Arizonans of the accuracy of elections. We stand ready to defend federalism and state sovereignty against partisan attacks or federal overreach.

It is important to remember that the states created the federal government, not the other way around. America’s founders intentionally restrained the federal government’s constitutional boundaries to ensure each state could flourish in unique ways. Today our federal government has largely forgotten the Founders’ intent, but my office has not.

There are no issues more important for states to prioritize than the integrity of elections. This is the cornerstone of our republics, binding together the peoples’ trust in the whole of government. Today, we see mistrust in our elections from Americans on all sides of the political spectrum. This should not be a partisan issue. States can and should take every opportunity to reassure all citizens that their vote counts.

My office looks for ways to work alongside the federal government to uphold our laws within the constraints of the 10th Amendment and the election provisions in Articles I and II. As I have demonstrated several times, however, Arizona will not sit back and let the Biden administration abuse its authority, refuse to uphold laws, or attempt to commandeer our state’s sovereignty.

Respectfully,
Mark Brnovich
Attorney General

Well said.

They can only abuse such power as we the people PERMIT them to abuse. Every tool we have to push back can and should be used.

How serious is Arizona on this point? Here’s a clue.

These are the kinds of never-surrender patriots America need to see more of, taking bold stands.

Looking for inspiration? Want to be emboldened by the example of others who stood against all odds in the past, and had their names literally written in history? Look no further than this. It features the ladies but is an inspiration to all of us.

Biblical Badasses: The Women

In Doug Giles’ latest book, Biblical Badasses: The Women, Giles spotlights ten epic ladies who did awesome things for God with the odds severely stacked against them. These girls weren’t your typical church ladies. They were holy movers and shakers who upset hell with their God-honoring, faith-filled, lives. Giles’ unique take on these terrific women makes the scripture come alive. This book is real, raw, relevant, and irreverent. Giles’ prayer is that after reading, Biblical Badasses: The Women, not only will your noggin be filled with these amazing tales of high and lows from real women who rocked in a hard place, via the power of God, but that you will get off your butt, quit pursuing stupidity, start chasing down your high calling and at the end of your life, you too, like the holy femme fatales featured herein, will have left a massive scar on Satan’s haggard backside.
