WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Feb 28, 2020

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>We have a legal decision on sanctuary cities, and it's

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>a good one. The three judge panels Second Circuit Court

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of Appeals unanimously overturned a district court judge who ruled

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the Trump administration could not withhold grants from sanctuary cities.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>That was part of the anti Trump resistance movement among

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the judiciary. In seventeen, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>that the Department of Justice was going to withhold grant

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>money from states who defied federal immigration law by granting

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>sanctuary illegals. Well, it didn't take long for the resistance

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to act. Seven states New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia,

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Washington State ran the federal

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>court and sued, and, as so often happens, coincidentally, the

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>resistant states found a friendly resistance district judge to go

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>along with them. Trump administration appealed. So now finally we've

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>gotten a common sense ruling from the appellate court. They

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>ruled that, of course, the federal government can withhold grant

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 1>money from states who break federal laws. A no brainer. Now,

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.919
<v Speaker 1>this will probably end up at the Supreme Court because

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Liberals never give up the fight, no matter how ridiculous

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>or absurd it may be. But at least for now

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you can file this under We're not tired of winning

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and victory is so sweet.
