They Went There: ‘States’ Rights’ and ‘Sovereignty’ Suddenly Popular With Dems Again
SHARE

Democrats in 2025 are looking to their forebears in 1861 and Governor Wallace in 1963, standing in the schoolhouse door, defying federal officials trying to enforce federal law.





Far-left @PortlandGov city council member Angelita Morillo, a socialist, posted a video where she gives instructions for how rioters can avoid being identified after committing crimes.

They are even resorting to the same excuses they did when they were defending slavery and segregation: state sovereignty and states’ rights. 

Exhibit A: The unholy creed of “Do As We Say”

When .@TheDemocrats lectured America in the summer of lawfare 2024 like deranged parrots,
‘No one is above the law’

At least they are acting consistently with a brand they established long ago, although I have to note that in many of the intervening years, they have been very inconsistent about applying this principle. Their attitude is more “states’ rights for me, but not for thee.”

Did someone say “sovereign” ? https://t.co/SBDxeGNYiJ pic.twitter.com/onv3nMZ5je

There is a serious flaw in the “state’s rights” argument, for which is have a modest amount of sympathy in some cases. And it is this: these states are in open rebellion against the enforcement of federal law, and not merely in a refusal to cooperate with federal officials in the execution of their duties. 

Calm down, Heifferson Davis.

— Tony Kinnett (@TheTonus) October 6, 2025





We can have an argument about the level of cooperation that is required, especially when the states get an awful lot of federal support in the law enforcement realm, but I don’t see how states can actively impede federal officials in the execution of their duties without it being a violation both of their responsibility as members of the federal union and as a matter of federal law.

You and I would be arrested if we obstructed federal officials carrying out their duties, and I don’t see why state and local officials should be exempt from this. 

If “states’ rights” mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

The claim that one state is invading another is absurd on its face, of course, and Hillary Clinton knows it. But with all this Civil War talk (and action), it is again very on-brand. The reality is much simpler: states like California, Oregon, and Illinois have declared open season on federal officials and federal property–they are tolerating attacks on the federal government and even abandoning federal officers when they are being violently attacked. 

Dispatch audio — the orders are undeniable.

The latest example is Chicago’s police standing down, allowing what amounted to a terrorist attack on Customs and Border Patrol agents. They radioed in for help, and the dispatcher alerted officers of the request for help using police code 999. The Patrol Chief ordered officers to drive away rather than provide assistance.

— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) October 6, 2025

Code 999, by the way, means Urgent help needed / Officer down. Never in the history of policing, as far as I am aware, has a police department ordered its officers to abandon their fellow law enforcement officers when they are under attack. No doubt individual officers have displayed cowardice and failed to help their compatriots, but it apparently is now official Chicago policy to invite people to attack federal officers. 

When I say Portland is in open rebellion against the Federal Government this is what I mean.

This is where we are now, and I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. The Democratic Party has been fairly clear about its belief that no rules apply to them, and that the Constitution is an outdated document written by colonialists who should be shunned. In New York City, the statue of Thomas Jefferson was removed because the author of the Declaration of Independence was no longer welcome there, which tells you everything you need to know.

The Democrats have embraced rage, political violence, and are at the point of, or inching toward, actual insurrection against the federal government.

You could call it a tantrum, but it is far more than that. It is the inevitable result of a political philosophy that has its roots in Jacobinism (hence, one of the major left-wing magazines is literally named “Jacobin”), and the goal is revolution. No doubt they would prefer it if the people who lean toward federalism in the real sense of the word, and as outlined in The Federal Papers, simply surrendered and allowed the left to destroy the country without resistance. 

Want proof that the Portland Police are allowing ANTIFA to take over the city streets?

Yesterday, around 1pm, rioters arrived at the ICE Facility and blocked off the roadway. Multiple PPB Officers watched it happen, then packed their bags and left ANTIFA to control the street. pic.twitter.com/ByQ8Y9nLk3

— Matt Tardio (@angertab) October 5, 2025

But if we insist that the Constitution means what it says, and that federal law enacted in a legal manner be enforced, they are perfectly willing to take to the streets and achieve their goals through violent means. 

Rioters in Portland, Oregon have repeatedly attacked and laid siege to an ICE processing center. Many of these criminals have been arrested and hit with federal charges.

Local officials, knowing that they would lose a straight-up conventional war, are happy to allow Antifa and other violent groups do the dirty work as they open the way for them to attack federal officers. The locals will refuse to assist the federal agents, deny them even the most modest protection, or even the ability to use city bathrooms, and will run the other direction as Antifa uses increasingly violent means to get their way.

Because blue state / city governments are blocking local law enforcement from aiding federal law enforcement who are being attacked in those state’s & cities.

Favreau & Democrats will celebrate dead ICE & Border Control agents https://t.co/kXO1FJtrBS

— Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) October 6, 2025

Already, Antifa has shot at and killed officers who are enforcing immigration laws. They have been destroying property in the cities where local officials refuse to police their own streets, and now they are falling back on the “states’ rights” arguments. They are going the full George Wallace.

STEPHEN MILLER DECLARES: “The president is not going to allow American citizens to be r*ped, murdered, maimed and KILLED by illegal alien gang bangers, terrorists, drug dealers and psychopaths.”

“And we’re not going to leave our citizens at the mercy of a Democrat criminal justice system that frees serial repeat offenders to stab women in subways, to break into people’s homes and stab little children to death in their beds, and to unleash this reign of terror on our citizens. President Trump is not going to stand for it!” – 





We will no doubt hear about January 6th again and again to justify the claim that Republicans are the real insurrectionists, but the fact is that every day is January 6th x10 for the Democrats. People are getting shot, riots are happening daily, and local officials are defending it all and asking for more of it.

The country is more divided than ever, and I wish I knew what we could do to heal the rifts. But we are at a point where Democrats openly applaud the murder of conservatives, fantasize about killing their colleagues, and forcing mothers to watch their children die, and do everything they can to amp up the political temperature. 

Bluesky is filled with kill lists, and Democrats are filming themselves saying the most disgusting things. This is how they talk to each other.

I would ask the simple question, “How do we live in the same country with these people?,” but I think the answer is that they don’t even want to live here if we do.

They claim they are doing all this to be kind. I would hate to see them when they are being mean.
