Makes me wonder what the law permits when private citizens use force to deprive you of the rights that you are entitled to under the law. Probably not much, since the presumption is that there are police who will enforce the said laws.

I wonder if the Federal Govt. will feel compelled to act. That would be cool. Get the FBI or some Marines to enforce the law.

 

That does raise the question of who has the authority to enforce the law when the local police department refuses to do so.

 

County Sherriff ---> State Patrol------> Feds?

 

If George Wallace was still around, I'm sure he'd know.

A few tender heart-rending moments, showing some poor unwed mother who just wants to do the right thing and not bring a baby into this cruel world when she can't care for it properly, being beaten back by a merciless mob of right-wing fanatics breaking the law, flanked by police officers who wish to remain neutral... that'll get their blood boiling

I may be misremembering this, but I am pretty sure that the pres federalized the nat'l guard in order to bring them in. Sorta pulled the rug right out from under Wallace. Is this what you recall?
