Sanctuary And Secession
Sanctuary And Secession

The Claremont Institute, home of historian Harry Jaffa, is known for its veneration of Abraham Lincoln, and for its support, fairly uncontroversial in most of the United States, for the winning side in the Civil War.
Some of VDARE.com’s readers, and writers for that matter, would disagree with them on that. But here they’re riding their hobbyhorse in a congenial direction.
The Claremont Institute - Sanctuary Cities: A New Civil War
The ghost of John C. Calhoun still stalks the land. Calhoun, of course, was the leading architect of nullification—and secession. Almost everyone believes the issues of nullification (the doctrine that federal law can be negated by state laws) and secession were resolved by the North’s victory in the Civil War and the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments. But nullification has once again reared its hoary head, this time in the guise of “sanctuary cities.â€Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

lawsuit brought by THE CITY OF NEW YORK and RUDOLPH GIULIANI
What is most remarkable about sanctuary cities is that they are illegal. In 1996 Congress passed two laws dealing with the subject: the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. Under both statutes state and local governments could no longer prohibit employees from inquiring about immigration status or tipping off immigration authorities. The Court of Appeals upheld both provisions in New York v. U.S. (1999).[VDARE.COM note: A lawsuit brought by THE CITY OF NEW YORK and RUDOLPH GIULIANI, as Mayor of the City of New York, in an attempt to protect the illegal alien population of NYC.]Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

If this case was decided in the Federal Ccircuit that New York is in, (2nd Circuit) it would be a big help if there were other federal circuit opinions. They can differ. If that was the highest court that such a case has gone to then local governments within that circuit should be fairly confident to follow that ruling. Does anyone know if any similar case has gone to the US Supreme Court? Without a Supreme Court decison it can get a little hectic in each Federal Circuit, with differing opinions handed down.
