Pre-emption Case Sept 13 2023

[JenniferG]

This is the part they don*t understand. I use the example of driving from Philly to the Blue Route in Delco. Every little township, borough, town, etc. could have their own gun laws and one could be in violation every other mile.

In addition I add, why not just enforce the multitude of gun laws already on the books.

We had that type of situation raised by local municipalities when I was a Septa Engineer. The municipalities including Philadelphia wanted to charge a wage tax to crew members that ran through their jurisdiction, some even multiple times a day. The courts struck those wage taxes down and said that only the municipality where you signed up could charge a wage tax. Philadelphia still owes me about $300 plus interest since 1987 or 88 when the case was resolved. Philadelphia was charging many of us a wage tax when we signed up at outlying points like Paoli, Norristown, Media, West Trenton, Trenton, Warminster, Lansdale and Doylestown. The court ordered Philadelphia to recompense all those wage taxes but no one I know including myself were able to receive those wrongfully taken taxes. Knife laws should also be preempted by State law.

What is 'CJC'? I think I have someone I can ask who will know.

Cause it's about power, not about right and wrong.

Philadelphia police routinely ticket cars that have never been to Philly. It's almost a cliche that Philly government has a whiff of corruption around itself.

A whiff?

Full on sewage/slaughter house stench.
10% of City Council should be tarred and feathered.


The rest should be hung!

Any proof to back that up? What do they do, scroll through the license plate database and pick ones at random to ticket?

No, it is usually because of incorrectly entered digits. Whether from bad handwriting or an intentionally altered digit.

The 2nd Amendment didn't exist when the British Army was free to run around here. The Term "The People" may not applied to armed forces under command either.

I have no idea why Hogan Lovells is involved, or who is paying their bills.

IT did. IT just was not called that. The Constitution is just a codification of rights that all British Subjects have always enjoyed, focusing on the rights most commonly violated by the British Government or Sovereign.

There's that show called "Parking Wars" that is filmed in Philly. How anyone could live in that city with all that kind of madness is beyond me.
