Nevada AG: An ‘existential threat’ to your freedom!
By Chuck Muth
Most people have no idea what the heck the state’s “attorney general” does. Why? Because in most cases it has absolutely nothing to do with their daily lives… unless they’re a criminal. But because of Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s ongoing abuse of COVID-related “emergency” powers, many of us have been “guilty” of breaking ”Sisolak’s Law” over the past two years.
You violated his “stay at home” order. You didn’t wear a mask. You didn’t wear a mask “properly.” You let your kids play with other kids. You had family and friends over for Thanksgiving. You went to a birthday party. You went to a wedding. You went to a funeral. You went to church. You went to a Trump rally! All at the risk of citation, fine… or worse.
Which brings me to Democrat Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, who explains his job thusly on the AG’s website… “The Nevada Attorney General’s Office serves as the top law enforcement office for the State of Nevada. … (W)e work hard every day to investigate and prosecute crimes, combat fraud and corruption, help consumers, and protect your rights (my emphasis).” If only that were true. He hasn’t protected your rights. He’s protected Sisolak’s wrongs. For almost TWO YEARS now!
Consider… At the start of the Sisolak Shutdown on March 17, 2020, some businesses — at the sole discretion of the governor — were allowed to remain open while other similar businesses were ordered closed. For example, you could go buy a six-pack of beer from a neighborhood grocery store but you couldn’t go buy a six-pack of beer from a neighborhood liquor store. Explain the “science” behind that one! Grocery store employees kept their jobs. Liquor store employees lost theirs. That wasn’t equal protection under law. That was unequal protection under “Sisolak’s Law.” Worse, the businesses that had their doors shuttered by executive order never received anything even close to due process. It was done unilaterally by a power-hungry politician without even conferring with, let alone getting the approval of, Nevada’s elected legislators. And all with the explicit approval of AG Ford, who not only refused to stand up and defend the constitutional rights of Nevada’s citizens, but actively assisted in trampling them.
When private attorneys Sigal Chattah, who’s running for attorney general against Ford this year (disclaimer: a client), and Joey Gilbert (running for governor) sued Sisolak to reopen Nevada’s churches, AG Ford and his taxpayer-funded office defended… Sisolak.
When Chattah and Gilbert sued Sisolak to force him to make the COVID vaccine available to at-risk seniors before dishing them out to young, healthy government employees, AG Ford and his taxpayer-funded office defended…Sisolak.
When Chattah and Gilbert sued Sisolak to end his mask mandate for students in schools, AG Ford and his taxpayer-funded office defended…Sisolak.
Aaron Ford has never protected your rights. He’s protected Sisolak’s wrongs.
As an independently elected official, Ford had a choice. He could either defend the dictatorial actions of a petty tyrant…or he could defend the constitutional rights of Nevada’s citizens.
He chose the tyrant. He chose wrong.
He’s a co-conspirator. An existential threat to your rights. An existential threat to freedom. An existential threat to basic constitutional liberties.
Remember in November.
And let’s go, Brandon!
