John Yoo: Wisconsin Judge Obstructed Federal Law by Harboring Illegal Migrant

Judicial Obstruction of Federal Law

• ⚖️ A Wisconsin judge is accused of felony obstruction for allegedly helping an illegal migrant evade federal arrest.
• 💡 John Yoo argues that state officials, including judges, have no right to obstruct or pick and choose which federal laws to obey, citing the Supremacy Clause.
• ⚠️ Yoo draws a parallel, questioning if the judge believes she can also conceal murderers or drug dealers, emphasizing that all federal laws must be obeyed.

The Role of State vs. Federal Authority

• 🏛️ Yoo asserts that state judges cannot review or decide which federal laws should be enforced, stating that if she wishes to do so, she should seek an appointment to the federal bench.
• 🚫 While state officials don't have to actively cooperate with federal law enforcement, they are prohibited from obstructing their duties.

Political Arguments and Civil Disobedience

• 🗣️ Yoo suggests that Democrats and the left may be advocating for civil disobedience to federal law, finding appeal in protesting valid legal authority.
• 🗳️ He emphasizes that the proper channels for disagreement with federal law, such as immigration policy, are through elections and the political process, not by refusing to obey laws.

The Suspect's Alleged Crimes

• 🔪 The suspect the judge allegedly helped was accused of beating, strangling, and suffocating his roommate and another person.
• 🚨 The suspect also had a felony immigration violation, and law enforcement prioritizes removing individuals who have committed violent crimes.
