Discussion for article #244224
The Georgia attorney general on Wednesday issued a formal opinion that
Georgia cannot legally block Syrian refugees from settling in the state,
even though Gov. Nathan Deal ® has pushed to keep refugees from the
war-torn country from receiving benefits like food stamps.

But…but what about that law that lets southern states nullify anything passed or enforced by a black President? Surely that still applies. Just need to find the right judge.

Unfortunately, the Georgia AG’s opinion was about the governor of Texas, so it didn’t count for much.

The federal government has told Georgia officials that the Department of Human Services cannot block Syrian refugees from receiving food stamps, but the agency said it would continue to follow the governor’s orders.
Guess they didn’t learn anything from Sherman’s March.

Conservatives: Bigots have absolutely no use for any AG or SCOTUS(unless they agree with us). We only listen to Amerikan Jesus.

Reminds me of when Gov. Goodhair was Gov. of Texas. A Supreme Court ruling came down declaring something Texas had done as unconstitutional (so many, I can’t remember which specific case). Goodhair commented, “We’ll have our Texas lawyers look at the decision and see if it really says that.”

US Constitution, Amendment XIV
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
It doesn’t take a state AG to figure this out, although perhaps it takes a state AG to explain it to a state governor.Either all refugees are entitled to food stamps or none are. You’d think they would have gotten the idea after the marriage equality thing.

Yes, that’s right remind that racist beast that he does not hold the power over who is allowed to ride through or reside in the state of Georgia!
Olens ain’t shy about using his office in the service of partisanship. For him to rule so unequivocally on this issue, it’s got to be a really, really cut and dry.
