I thought of leaving this to Sheila, but something has to be said.
Judge Calls Second Amendment Protection Laws Racist and Anti-Semitic
The Oregon Court of Appeals has struck down the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance in Columbia County, an ordinance OFF has been defending with Gun Owners of America.
[…]
He claims that constitutional sheriffs “ embrace racist and white nationalist ideologies.”
From Egan’s concurrence:
“In other words, Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates,which as explained below is a well documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillians.
On occasion, however, individual members of the court must call out illegitimate quasi-legal arguments and theories for what they are-viz., antisemitic and racist tropes. “
Egan dedicated an entire section to “The Antisemitic and Racist Origins of the Ordinance,” yet somehow never managed to establish any such origin. The closest he came was pretending that the Aryan Nation espoused — unconstitutional — ideas that he imagines are similar to upholding the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
Guilt by imaginary association.
The best immediate response to Egan is of a sort I usually avoid here (saving it for my personal blog). This warrants an exception; I apologize to anyone who may be offended. Except Egan.
Fuck off, Egan.
The Zelman Partisans is a Jewish group (though not every individual is Jewish).
A group of Jews and friends who stand uncompromisingly for the right to keep and bear arms — and the entire Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights happens to include the Second Amendment, thus TZP supports upholding it. Egan obviously doesn’t.
Are you calling a Jewish group antisemitic, Egan? Come on; say it to my face, you oath-breaking bastard.
28 U.S. Code § 453 – Oaths of justices and judges
Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I, ___ ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as ___ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
Egan violated his oath of office, and is calling Jews antisemitic to deflect attention from his own failure.
