In response to the recent spread of
the coronavirus, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that all social
gatherings in the state, including those in private homes, would be
limited to a maximum of ten people. That the order is unconstitutional bothered
him not at all.
Apparently, it did, however, bother
some law enforcement officers, a number of whom have said they will not enforce
Killer Cuomo’s decree. Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino was among them.
Giardino stated via a Facebook post: “With regard to the Thanksgiving Executive
Order, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office will NOT be enforcing it against our
County residents.” Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy, Erie County Sheriff
Tim Howard, and Saratoga County Sheriff Michael Zurlo shared Giardino’s
sentiments, according to the New York Post.
“I can’t see how devoting our
resources to counting cars in citizens’ driveways or investigating how much
turkey and dressing they’ve purchased is for the public good,” Zurlo said in a
recent news release. Sounds reasonable, neighborly and in keeping with American
values.
But, this news didn’t sit well with
Governor Death. Cuomo savaged any and all sheriffs in the Empire State who are
opting out of his power play. He held a news conference in Albany at which he
said, “I don’t believe as a law enforcement officer you have a right to pick
and choose what laws you will enforce.” (Perhaps they want to limit themselves
to enforcing the legal ones, A.C., not the ones infringing citizens’
basic rights). Cuomo told reporters that an executive order “is a law” and that
the issue “has been litigated.” Cuomo, in a snit, went on to say: “There’s a
law, and you have to enforce the law, or don’t call yourself a law enforcement
officer.” In full tantrum mode, he added that the opinion of an officer about a
law “doesn’t matter.” He would have been a perfect fit for the Third Reich,
circa 1938.
The self-proclaimed “Lov Gov” said
the attitude of the intransigent sheriffs “is, frankly, frightening to me as an
individual, frightening to democracy. It’s
arrogant, and it violates your constitutional duty.”
Wow. Talk about the pot calling the
kettle Black!
Telling people they may be punished
if they gather with their family and friends in their own homes to celebrate
Thanksgiving is frightening to any reasonable, sentient being. The kind of
arrogance it takes to issue that kind of an order is “frightening to
democracy,” if anything could be. And, as previously mentioned,
unconstitutional. As always, leftists project.
Cuomo’s absurd hypocrisy and
sanctimoniousness is most apparent when you realize New York is a sanctuary
state, New York City a sanctuary city. These entities blatantly defy
federal law by welcoming and protecting illegal aliens, often providing them
with undeserved benefits that even citizens don’t get and refuse to allow
I.C.E. or any other federal agency to come near them. Maybe morons like Cuomo
shouldn’t have the right to pick and choose which federal laws they will
enforce. Governors (and mayors) like Cuomo certainly should not be able to
renege on their sworn promise to protect and defend the Constitution of the
United States without facing
the consequences.
Instead, he will be presented with
an Emmy award “In recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic
& his masterful
use of TV to inform & calm people around the world.”
As someone once said: “Beam me up,
Scotty, there’s no intelligent life here.”
